[She:] You and me would happy be
as, man and wife,
[He:] Don't tempt me so
I beg of you to stop it.
[She:] I would make you comf'table
I know, through life,
[He:] I'm comf'table enough
so kindly drop it,
[She:] Why don't you come and marry me?
[He:] It's just as plain as A.B.C.

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.

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.

[She:] Simple clothes would hide my beauty
that is true,
[He:] The face is there,
and nothing could remove it.
[She:] I would make my face up
very plain for you,
[He:] No matter what you do
you can't improve it.
[She:] I'll give you all my love
don't fear
[He:] I couldn't be so selfish, dear.

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.

You're so beautiful
