Ugly
Bon Jovi · Jon Bon Jovi: Destination Anywhere [1997]
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, Yeah
And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
I'd put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me
Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah
Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y
And that's Ugly
So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you
Yeah,
I wish I was as beautiful as you
Ugly
Ugly stands as a notable song in Jon Bon Jovi's solo discography, appearing on the 1997 album Destination Anywhere. While the Bon Jovi band name is synonymous with arena rock anthems, this solo venture allowed the frontman to explore a more intimate and introspective musical landscape. The track reflects the singer-songwriter's ability to navigate personal themes outside the shadow of his primary group's massive commercial success. Released during a period where Bon Jovi was actively diversifying his creative output, the song contributes to a broader catalogue that balances hard rock energy with softer, melodic storytelling. It remains a significant piece of work for fans interested in the artist's individual evolution and his willingness to experiment with different sonic textures during the late nineties.
