Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I've said it before
But it's still original
To say it once more
You've got a real smile
I can see it in your eyes
You're not just made of plastic
You're made of bone
You are beautiful
You are like my favorite song
My eyes get teary and fixated
On the beauty standing right
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
Finish my sentence
'Cause I can't find the words
'Cause I'm stuck in trenches
And I need your help, my love
You are beautiful
You are like my favorite song
My eyes get teary and fixated
On the beauty standing right
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
woh, woh woh
woh
woh, woh woh
woh
Oh, you are beautiful
You are like my favorite song
My eyes get teary and fixated
On the beauty standing right
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
Here, here
on the beauty in front of me
