What Makes You Beautiful (Cover)
The 1975 · Other Songs - The 1975
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up
To cover up
Being the way you are is enough
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know...
You don't know you're beautiful
So..
Oh, girl, come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
You're acting shy
I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eye
And everyone else in the room can see
Everyone else but you
Oh, baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know...
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up
To cover up
Being the way you are is enough
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know...
You don't know you're beautiful
So..
Oh, girl, come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
You're acting shy
I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eye
And everyone else in the room can see
Everyone else but you
Oh, baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know...
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
