Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
[Verse 2]
You are too beautiful for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with
[Bridge]
Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs?
[Verse 3]
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
[Bridge]
Love does not stand sharing
Not if one really cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs?
[Verse 4]
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty
