lyrics

I’m a sucker for a pretty face
And you’re as pretty as they come
So what if the conversation leaves me absolutely numb?

Oh you’re so enchanting
When your mouth is closed
And with a mouth like that
Who needs politics and prose

Now I’m staring into those vacant eyes trying to figure out
If you’ve understood a single word that I’ve said
Is there anything going on in that pretty little head?
Cause if you’re just drop dead gorgeous
You should just drop dead

A face that could launch a thousand ships
A smile so bright it could stop a train
Won’t do you no good if you can’t
Back it all up with the brains

Now I’m staring into those vacant eyes trying to figure out
If you’ve understood a single word that I’ve said
Is there anything going on in that pretty little head?
Cause if you’re just drop dead gorgeous
You should just drop dead

Baby don’t change on account of me
Cause I like em pretty but I need em quick and witty
And if that’s the best of ya, if there and nothing to the rest of ya
A pretty face is all you’ll ever be to me

And I’m staring into those vacant eyes trying to figure out
If you’ve understood a single word that I’ve said
Is there anything going on in that pretty little head?
Cause if you’re just drop dead gorgeous
You should just drop dead

If you’re just drop dead gorgeous
You should just drop dead

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
