Every time he goes, she dies
Every time she comes, she cries
He was her long, bright future
In the middle of a wrong, dark road
He loved her, but he wasn't too sure
If he could return the love she showed
When she said, "my love extends
Beyond the realm of being friends"
He kissed her head
And quietly he said
[Chorus]
It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me

Well, ten thousand tears passed by
But she never let him see her cry
And he called up down one night
He said, let's get in the car and just drive
He talked a lot about loneliness
But why, she didn't know
And some song about Memphis
Was playing on the radio
She said, let's stop the car and slow dance
Won't you just give me a chance?
He took her hand
And hoped she'd understand
[Chorus]
It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me
