Lyrics
Chorus:
You’re so beautiful, so beautiful
I’m a little bit afraid of you
I’d hang around ’till you had me pat
And then some millionaire would come
And you’d leave me flat
Can you blame me, for being cautious
I’m afraid, pretty maid, that’s why
It would be a pleasant duty
But I fear your fatal beauty
Makes it impossible, goodbye
