You Are Beautiful
Lounge / Jazz / Bossa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I could have bound you too

You are too beautiful for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with

Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs

If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty

Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs

If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty




You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lounge / Jazz / Bossa's song "You beautiful" speak of a love that is too beautiful, too rare, too precious to be compromised or shared. The singer acknowledges the overwhelming beauty of their beloved, and how it has made them a fool, prone to being swept away by strong emotions. They reflect on the fact that their beloved is too beautiful for them to keep all to themselves, and that there are other men out there who are also enamored by their beauty.


The singer then touches upon the subject of fidelity, stating that love cannot be shared between multiple partners, and that their love for their beloved is too pure for them to even consider sharing it with anyone else. They ask if their beloved has been comparing their kisses with those of other men, for they know that their love is one that requires undivided attention and devotion.


In the final verse, the singer reiterates that their faithfulness to their beloved is not out of a sense of duty, but rather because their beauty is too captivating and all-encompassing for them to even think of looking elsewhere. The song is a tribute to the power of love and how it can make us feel foolish, weak, and vulnerable, yet still be the most beautiful thing in the world.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,(Original version)
Flying high,(clean version)
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
