Dan Squire - You Don't Know You're Beautiful lyrics

Well you light up my world like nobody else You're the s**iest girl in the town But if you thought this was going to be a One Direction song Well I'm sorry to let you down Well you're beautiful and you don't need to hear that from Harry Styles It's obvious to all the world But you've got cla** and you've got style, there's a beauty in your smile And I want to compliment the way you look, girl... With a perfect figure, curves in all the right places When you walk down the street all the guys turn their faces You've got long flowing hair, natural colour to the roots Tell me your secret, what conditioner do you use? Now I should probably be more specific maybe It's not fair to sing a song to you about a generic lady And just spout platitudes and compliments about features you don't have You're a man, you don't have b**bs; you have pecs and abs (probably) So I'll try and convert my song to be a little bit more manly, so you can feel like it's more about you But the all the subliminal messages that pop songs send out to women, I'll try to make sure that they still get through And in the spirit of masculinity, I felt that being subtle would be inherently wrong So I'll be blunt, I'll be honest, and I promise I won't put any more subtext into this song Take your shirt off, let the ladies have a smile You're a s**y guy why don't you show it once in a while If anything it's empowering to stand on stage naked Didn't anybody tell you that's the only way you'll ever make it? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make you uncomfortable This song was written hoping there'd be a really fit girl in the front row And she'd put her hand up, I'd sing my song, it would be really romantic But unfortunately you were just too keen when you put your hand up Now it would look unprofessional to stop being a musician I have to fill more time before the judge's decision So you just stand there on the stage and stay still If I think of something I'll come back to you I promise I will In the meantime I'm just gonna sing to the audience And smile and pretend I haven't noticed the awkwardness He's regretting volunteering now, but he's scared of budging He's just standing there where you can all just silently judge him Now all the men tonight should probably take heed of this example Because the content of our popular music can sometimes be harmful When I say those things to a bloke we can all laugh because it's funny If I sang this song about a woman I'd probably make loads of money How does it feel to be so publicly exposed? Just thank your lucky stars I didn't actually make you take off your clothes And this just shows a part of a problem that this song can't rectify At least now you know how it feels... to be objectified
