Beauty Is Only Skin Deep — The Temptations

So in love, sad as could be 'Cause a pretty face got the best of me. Suddenly, you came into my life And gave it meaning and pure delight. Now, good looks, I've learned to do without. 'Cause now I know it's love that really counts.

'Cause I know that... I know that... Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed.

Now you speak your words warm and sincere. And let's me know that your love is near. A pretty face you may not possess But what I like about you is your tenderness. A pretty face maybe some guys taste But I'll take lovin' in it's place.

'Cause I know that... And you know that... Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah. (Oh yeah, Oh yeah)

Ooo Yes it is.

My friends ask, what do I see in you But it goes deeper than the eye can view. You have a pleasin' personality And that's an ever lovin' rare quality. Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine And I'll choose the one with true lovin' every time.

I know that... And I believe that... Beau- know that beauty's only skin deep.

So if you're lookin' for a lover. (Oh yeah) Don't judge a book by it's cover. (Oh yeah) She may be fine on the outside (Oh yeah) But so untrue on the inside. (Oh yeah) Ooo
