Stay Beautiful
Taylor Swift · Taylor Swift
Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say, hey by the way...
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
that never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, and don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my front door
Oh but if you don't, will you stay beautiful?
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
ohhh oooh
ohhhh oh ohhh
oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
Stay beautiful
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say, hey by the way...
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
that never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love, and don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
