[English]

If looks could kill, I'd be six deep

Girl, you're drop-dead, you got me droppin' to my knees

You're 11 out of ten from your head down to your feet

Yeah, you're perfect, as perfect can be

But it ain't your smile, ain't your hair, ain't them diamonds that you wear

Ain't the way you look tonight that makes me want you

It's your heart, it's your mind, it's what man just can't design

It's the beautiful inside that makes you gorgeous

Yes, it is

Gorgeous

You could have anyone you wanted to

But you choose to love me, baby, and I thank God you do

You got the kinda shine that can light a room

And this world would look a whole lot better if it looked just like you

But it ain't your smile, ain't your hair, ain't them diamonds that you wear

Ain't the way you look tonight that makes me want you

It's your heart, it's your mind, it's what man just can't design

It's the beautiful inside that makes you gorgeous

Yes, it is

Gorgeous

Ooh, don't get me wrong

You're the prettiest thing I've ever laid my eyes on

It ain't your smile, ain't your hair, ain't the diamonds that you wear

Ain't the way you look tonight that makes me want you

It's your heart, it's your mind, it's what man just can't design

It's the beautiful inside that makes you gorgeous

Ain't your smile, ain't your hair (ain't your hair)

Ain't the diamonds that you wear (diamonds that you wear)

Ain't the way you look tonight that makes me want you (makes me want you)

It's your heart, it's your mind (it's your mind), it's what man just can't design

It's the beautiful inside that makes you gorgeous (whoo)

Yes, it is

Makes you gorgeous, baby
