Lyrics
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
It’s hard
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You know it’s hard (it’s hard, you know it gets so hard)
Everybody wants her, everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
(You watch your friends, you better watch your friends)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends (it never ends, you know it never ends)
You know that it’s crazy, you wanna trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone
Maybe it’s just an ego problem
Problem is I’ve been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint hearted lovers
And every time it happens, it just convinces me more
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes (watch her eyes, baby, watch her eyes)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies (keep lookin’ for lies, baby, look for lies)
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
She’s the most beautiful woman they know
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends (you watch your friends)
(You better watch your friends, you better look out)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
Oh, it never ends (it never ends, you know it never ends)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes (watch her eyes, baby, watch her eyes)
(You better watch her eyes)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
Keep lookin’ for lies (keep lookin’ for lies, keep lookin’ for lies)
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman…
