She Doesn't Know She's Beautiful

She doesn’t know she’s beautiful

Though it’s so often associated with her name

She thinks her looks aren’t that great

But I think she looks like an angel all the same



She doesn’t know she’s beautiful

Never before saw a figure so fine

Every time I try to tell her

She thinks I’m only throwing her a line



If she only knew the truth

Of every lady, she’s surely the most fair

Locks such an eloquent and fiery shade of red

Never before have I witnessed a beauty so rare



And when she walks on by

Someone always shouts a whistle out

But a girl such as her

Well, she doesn’t know what they’re all excited about



She doesn’t believe what I tell her

Though every last word of it is true

I’m not alone in holding this opinion

And still she doesn’t have a clue



She still doesn’t understand

Why whenever we go out somewhere

Every time she enters a room

All the heads do turn and stare



Morning comes and her hair’s all a mess

That’s when she thinks she looks her worst

Times like these, she can’t understand why I can’t take my eyes off her

Can’t understand why among beauty queens, she still ranks first



She doesn’t know she’s beautiful

It never crossed her mind

Her opinion of herself will probably never change

She’s just not that kind



Because she doesn’t know she’s beautiful

She doesn’t know she’s as radiant as the sun

And she’ll probably never believe me

When I tell her I think she’s the one
