[Verse 1]
There's something happening (Uh-huh)
There's something happening to me
Is it prepared?
No, I don't know if it ever will, me
It's really nice
It's really nice to not meet you
Because I'm scared
Someday you might actually see me (Oh no)
Scratch that (Bum-bum), I'm ready
[Chorus]
Close-up (Wow, ha-ha!)
I look so beautiful
Close-up (Oh, ha-ha!)
What do we beautiful do?
[Post-Chorus]
(Me?) So you (Oh!)
Can enjoy it too
Oh-ah-eh-ah-oh-ah-ah
Look at all the beautiful hair you've got
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 2]
I've been planning big things, you've been eating medicine
You're a poster child and I'm like Thomas Edison
Off from my body, suck down on that medicine
Slip into a sore and call me Thomas Edison
You live and you lose, you sympathetic star
You know where I are
[Chorus]
Close-up (Wow, ha-ha!)
I look so beautiful
Close-up (Oh, ha-ha!)
What do we beautiful do?
[Post-Chorus]
(Me?) So you (Oh!)
Can enjoy it too
I don't need to worry (What's that?), of the possible, dear (Oh, that's true!)
No, I don't need to worry, it's a waste of my fear
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
What have I been saying time and time again?
Why would you listen now if you didn't listen then?
True love is undisturbing, your dance is all for yearning
And then, for earning!
[Chorus]
Close-up (Wow, ha-ha!)
I look so beautiful
Close-up (Oh, ha-ha!)
What do we—do it again!
Close-up (Ha-ha!)
I look so beautiful
Close-up (Oh, ha-ha!)
What do we beautiful—
[Interlude]
C'mon, any reason? No
He left a note, though, and it read:
[Verse 4]
Every time you catch me off my guard, it's like a thousand little
Married men, taking off their wedding rings and singing "Let it Be"
Now it sounds so good to me and it used to sound so good to me!
It doesn't sound so good to me, it never sounded good to me!
(Eh)
(Ha!)
[Bridge]
Ah, you caress me, broken-armed
Ah, you take my keys, take my charm
Ah, I throw them back, you glare at me (Ah)
Ah, I wanna be what I can!
Force is not in mind
Yours is the language of ruin
[Chorus]
Close-up (Wow, ha-ha!)
I look so beautiful
Close-up (Oh, ha-ha!)
(Aah!) What do we beautiful do?
