Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I think back
To the first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then
That's a real good looking boy
[Verse 2]
I saw myself in the mirror
In profile for the first time
I thought, hey, that's a real good looking boy
[Verse 3]
And I felt then that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre in the sky
[Verse 4]
So I ran to my mother
I said, hey, mom, take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high
[Verse 5]
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
[Verse 6]
She said, son, well, you know
You're an ugly boy
You don't really look like him
[Verse 7]
In this long line there's been some
Real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in
[Verse 8]
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
Ooh, that's a real good looking boy
Yeah, that's a real good looking boy
[Verse 9]
Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I, I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you
[Verse 10]
Now I'm here with you, little darlin'
And you say, you're beautiful as you are
And I've managed somehow to survive
[Verse 11]
You arrived in my life like a fragrance
You helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know that's so-called beauty lies
[Verse 12]
God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love
[Verse 13]
You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
Ooh, that's a real good looking boy
Ooh, that's a real good looking boy
