So Damn Beautiful
Hollies · Staying Power [2006]
so how can I make you love me?
Well it's 6 AM, I'm awake again,
and I can't get you out of my head.
Wore your dress so tight, and you danced all night,
you took my heart and left me for dead.
But I don't even know your name, cause you didn't give that much away,
Will I ever feel the same again?
Now I'm caught up in the games you play.
You're so damn beautiful tonight,
how can I make you love me?
I'm so blinded by your light,
how can I make you see?
Well I would walk a 1000 miles to
find my way to you.
You're so damn beautiful, well I wanna make you mine.
I thought I saw your face, in a crowded place,
but it was just a shadow of you.
Now I'm all alone, waiting by the phone,
I'm hoping that my message got through.
But I didn't even ask your name, even though we danced the night away.
Suddenly you left without a trace, before I had the chance to say.
You're so damn beautiful tonight,
how can I make you love me?
I'm so blinded by your light,
how can I make you see?
Well I would walk a 1000 miles to
find my way to you.
You're so damn beautiful, well I wanna make you mine.
But I don't even know your name, cause you didn't give that much away,
Will I ever feel the same again?
Now I'm caught up in the games you play.
You're so damn beautiful tonight,
how can I make you love me?
I'm so blinded by your light,
how can I make you see?
Well I would walk a 1000 miles to
find my way to you.
You're so damn beautiful, well I wanna make you mine.
