Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh no
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh, tonight
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay
'Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
'Cause I wanna see you say
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh, tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
The lyrics to Labrinth's song "Beneath Your Beautiful" send a powerful message about the importance of vulnerability in human relationships. The singer recognizes the girl's tendency to shut others out and puts himself out there by asking her to let him see beneath her facade--to see both her flaws and her beauty. He's willing to risk the possibility of rejection because he recognizes that true connection requires authenticity and vulnerability.
The song also explores the theme of societal expectations and the pressure to present oneself as "perfect." In particular, the line "Behind your Broadway show, I heard a voice say please don't hurt me" suggests that the girl is putting on a performance for the world to see, but is actually struggling emotionally. The singer wants to see through this facade and connect with her on a deeper level.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace vulnerability and authenticity in their relationships, recognizing that true beauty lies beneath the surface.

You tell all the boys no
You reject all the boys who try to approach you
Makes you feel good, yeah
You get a sense of satisfaction from rejecting them
I know you're out of my league
I am aware that you are more desirable than me
But that won't scare me away, oh no
But that will not deter me from pursuing you
You've carried on so long
You have been behaving this way for a while
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You are so used to rejecting people that it is hard for you to stop
You've built your wall so high
You have created a barrier that is difficult to overcome
That no one could climb it
It is so high that it is impossible for anyone to get past it
But I'm gonna try
But I am going to attempt to overcome it
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Can I see the real you, beneath the surface?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Can I see the flawed and imperfect parts of you?
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Can you drop your facade and show me the real you?
I wanna see inside
I want to know the real you, not just the surface level version
You let all the girls go
You dismiss all the girls who try to get close to you
Makes you feel good, don't it?
You get a sense of satisfaction from dismissing them
Behind your Broadway show
Behind the performance and act you put on for others
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
I can sense that you are hiding your vulnerability behind your act
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I am going to attempt to reach you despite how unattainable you seem
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
I want to take the leap of faith with you and be there to support you
We'll be falling, falling
We may fail and make mistakes along the way
But that's okay
But that is alright
'Cause I'll be right here
Because I will be here for you
I just wanna know
I simply desire to understand you better
'Cause I wanna see you say
Because I want to see the true you
Oh, tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no
Tonight, we don't have to be perfect, imperfection can be beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Can I see the real you, just for tonight?

@@d.r.carmel BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.
Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.
See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.
SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.
