Real Good Looking Boy

When I think back to the

first time in my childhood

When I saw that face

I thought right then,

'That's a real good looking boy.'



I saw myself in the mirror

in profile

for the first time

I thought,

'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'



And I felt then

that I moved

With all those lucky bucks and angels

High in the theatre

In the sky



So I went to my mother

I said,

'Hey mom - take look at me'

Have you ever seen a teen

Fly so high?



That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy



She said,

'Son, well, you know,

you're ugly boy.

You don't really look like him.



In this long line

There's been some

real strange genes

You've got 'em all

You've got 'em all

With some extras thrown in



That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy



Wise men say

Only fools, only fools rush in

But I - I give in

Falling in love, in love with you



Now I'm here with you little darling

And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'

And I've managed somehow to survive



You arrived in my life like a fragrance

And helped me find a way to laugh

And I know now so-called beauty lies



God gave him a face

Then he gave me something above

God gave me grace

Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love



You make me feel like a real good looking boy

I feel like a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy
