Love Is in the Ear of the Listener Lyrics

What if I'm just a bad songwriter
And everything I say has been said before?
Well, everything to say has been said before
And that's not what makes or breaks us up
What if I'm just lousy up on the stage
And everybody watching is rolling their eyes
Well, you can roll your eyes at whatever you choose to
And really it's all up to you

'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the ear of the listener
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the ear of the listener
What if everybody just thinks I'm a phony
What if nobody ever gets it
Well, some people never get anything
And I shouldn't care what people think

What if people are sick of hearing love songs
Maybe I should sing about dyin'
Or maybe I should sing about
How I'm not gonna control what comes out of my mouth
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the ear of the listener
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Love is in the ear of the listener
