Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no
[Verse 2]
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
[Verse 3]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl
Take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
[Verse 4]
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your broadway show
I heard a boy say, "please don't hurt me"
[Verse 5]
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
[Verse 6]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy
Take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh tonight?
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling but that's ok
'Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know
[Verse 8]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl
Take it off now, girl
'Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
Oh tonight
We ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
