Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

Temptations · 50th Anniversary: Singles Collection 1961-1971 [2011]

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...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah.)

I know that beauty's only skin deep, yes it is.



Now you speak your words warm and sincere,

And let's me know that your love is here.

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...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)

I know that beauty's only skin deep, yes it is



Oh baby, oh yea

(Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah)



(Beauty's only skin deap, yeah yeah yeah.)

Ooo-hoo-hoo

(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yea.)

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 thats an ever lovin' rare quality

Now show me a girl, a girl thats fine

And I'll choose the one with true lovin every time.



Cause I know that...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)

And I beleive 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)

Beauty is only skin deep
