The Kinks - When I Turn Off the Living Room Light lyrics

Who cares if you're Jewish And your breath smells of garlic And your nose is a shiny red light To me you are gorgeous And everything's right When I turn off the living room light Your clothes are old-fashioned Your knuckles are bony Your hair looks a terrible sight But I don't have to see you The way that you are When I turn off the living room light When I turn off the living room light I don't have to see you The way that you are When I turn off the living room light Well it's not that you are ugly And I'm not being cruel It helps me to relax, dear It helps to keep me cool Now I am not intending To make you feel ashamed What's wrong in me pretending? 'Cause you can't help being plain Your nose may be bulbous Your face may be spotty Your skin may be wrinkled and tight But I don't want to see you The way that you are So I turn off the living room light We don't feel so ugly We don't feel so draggy We don't feel so twisted up tight And we don't feel as ugly as we really are When we turn off the living room light When we turn off the living room light We don't feel as ugly as we really are When we turn off the living room light
