Beauty Is Only Skin Deep - Eddie Kendricks/Temptations

Written by：Eddie Kendricks/Temptations

So in love sad as can be

'Cuz your pretty face has 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

'Cuz now I know it's love

That really counts 'cuz I know that

Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

Now you speak your words warm and sincere

That lets me know your love is sincere

A pretty face you may not possess but

What I like about it is your tenderness

A pretty face may be some guys taste

But I'll take lovin' in its place 'cuz I know that

Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

Oh baby oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Your beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Your beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

My friends ask what do I see in you

But it goes deeper than the eye can view

You gotta pleasin' personality

And that's an ever lovin' rare quality

Now show me a girl a girl that's fine

But'll choose the one with true lovin'

Every time 'cuz I know that

Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

So if your lookin' for a lover oh yeah

Don't judge a book by its cover oh yeah

She maybe fine on the outside oh yeah

But so untrue on the inside oh yeah

Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah

Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah
