Beautiful One Lyrics

There was a woman who was dancing beside the bay,
She wore a tight blue t-shirt and she swayed -
And the swing of her hips was calling my name.
And I had to keep her so I made her a key
And I made her promise she would only dance for me...
Soft, like a feather on the softest summer breeze.
Pretty as poison on her very best day,
She kicked around my world in shades of gray,
And she smoke, and she swore and she stole my heart away...
And I had to keep her so I made her a key
And I made her promise she would only dance for me...
And we lived this close to perfect harmony...
Chorus:
And I know she treated me bad, but I had fun.
And as for days: just so long as I was with her
Gonna wake and know it's gonna be another beautiful one.

State of the Union 'til the day she left me:
I'm always happy and she's always mean.
But I was game since the name on the mailbox was me.
'Til the day the make-up changed to turn the head of 'him,'
And the house was emptier than it had ever been...
And I could tell I'd been ruined by the smell of her skin...
(Chorus)
(End)
