I was taught from a very young age
That girls like you were not for me
But you and I share a story
And baby can’t you see
I’m standing here in misery
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
I know I’m not supposed to feel like this
It goes against the long-held norm
But without your sweet loving
I feel so lost and forlorn
Babe, I’ll face the preacher’s scorn
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
Now I can’t hold back anymore
I feel it deep within my soul
I don’t care what they might do to us
I don’t want to wind up like Meriwether Lewis
And only your love can fill this hole
I know I’m not supposed to feel this way
What can I say?
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
Now I see there’s a light in this darkness
There’s a truth beneath your skin
Everybody bleeds red, baby
So please, won’t you let me in?
I just want to be your special friend
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
I can’t take my eyes off you
I just want to stay here for the rest of my days
And hold you in my arms
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
I can’t help myself
I’m sorry but you’re beautiful
