[Verse 1] She puts on lipstick like she has each morning before Smooths down her cotton skirt as she opens her door On the bus shes riding, no eyes recognise her or care She checks reflections in windows to make sure shes still there Cant anybody see the girl she used to be? [Chorus] When hed say, Hey, beautiful I know just how to make you smile And hed say, Hey, beautiful Wont you lend me your heart a little while? Ill love it back to life Hey, beautiful [Verse 2] At the end of the day as she washes her face With a critical eye and a finger, shell trace Each line that appeared overnight like an unwelcome guest No maskup makeup, but this is how he liked her best She doesnt realise each laughline is a prize [Chorus] And hed say, Hey, beautiful I know just how to make you smile And hed say, Hey, beautiful Wont you lend me your heart a little while? Ill love it back to life Hey, beautiful [Bridge] She looks at hands that have given such love Reaches for skinfirming cream She looks at hips that have given such life Starts at the gym the next week Hed say, Youre so precious to me, yeah Wish you could see what I see [Chorus] And hed say, Hey, beautiful I know just how to make you smile And hed say, Hey, beautiful Wont you lend me your heart a little while? [Chorus] When hed say, Hey, beautiful I know just how to make you smile And hed say, Hey, beautiful Wont you lend me your heart a little while? Ill love it back to life Hey, beautiful Hey, beautiful
beautiful, hey, hed, lend, say
