Carrack, Paul - Beauty's Only Skin Deep Lyrics






So in love, sad as could be
'Cause her pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
Now good looks I've learned to do without
'Cause now I know it's love that only counts

'Cause I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
Oh, yeah

Now you speak your words warm and sincere
It lets me know that you love is dear
A pretty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness

A pretty face may be
Some guy's taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place

'Cause I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And you know that
Beauty's only skin deep
Oh yeah, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah

Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah

My friends ask what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasin' personality
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality

Now show me a girl
A girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one
With true lovin' every time

Because I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I believe that
Beauty's only skin deep
Oh, yeah

So if you're lookin' for a lover
Don't judge a book by its cover
She may be fine on the outside
But so untrue on the inside

Beauty's only skin deep

  27. L.... A....

    OTIS WILLIAMS AND
    THE NEW TEMPTATIONS ARE TRULY AMAZING AND THEY CAN

    PUT ON AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES THAT'S SO GENUINE AND UNFORGETTABLE

    SO FORGET THE NEGATIVE ENERGY BECAUSE IT'S ALL
    ABOUT SHOW AND TELL FROM

    THEIR BIG HITS LIKE "I'M HERE"
    "THIS IS MY PROMISE" AND
    "STAY WITH ME", JUST TO NAME

    A FEW, SO NEVER HESITATE TO SEE THEM AT THEIR GOD-GIVEN
    BESTSELLING PERFORMANCES

  28. D.... J....

    David let a pretty face get the best of him, but he finds that it’s love that really counts. Beauty is only skin deep. don’t judge a book by its cover. a true lesson to be learned. My favorite all time group. Love ❤️ the Temptations. 💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

  29. r.... s....

    How lucky was I to have the songs out of Motown as the sound track of my life

  30. D.... S....

    I like the movie version better

  31. R.... T....

    Remember it took all 5 to make 1 bad ass record.

  32. M.... J....

    It took me years before I realized how many of the R&B singers would go to "church" while singing a lyric... So when David sings "Beautyyyy" only skin deep" he takes us to the church!!!

  33. T.... P....

    The Classic Five had the BEST harmonies 😩😩😩

  34. H.... t....

    after that...on their own....

  35. H.... t....

    When David grabbed the mic...yeah, sit down. It was like God said, if you dig this, I'll send you this one....

  36. T.... P....

    THE TEMPTATIONS WAS MOTOWN DYNAMITE AND STILL IN 2019!

  37. K.... W....

    Now I know what love is all about

  38. u.... ....

    Beauty may only be skin deep, but DAMN so important. LOL 😁😁😉

  39. E.... R....

    The ulitamite super jam talking homely women

  40. S.... B....

    Glad to be born in 74 love oldschool music👌

  41. M.... V....

    "Im David Ruffin, & these are The Temptations"
    LMFAOOOOOOOOO
    what a bold cold azz dude he was, & I LOVE him !!!!

  42. E.... C....

    "I will forever hate the way David went out!!!!! It was sad!!!!!!!!! Such a marvelous talent Gon to pure waste!!!!! That voice was FLAWLESS!!!!!! I look up to his talents, but his life style was a joke!!!! But we all have a choice, Heaven or Hell!!!!!! God or the Devil!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I loves the fat DIMEPIECES....... My all time f
    Av, but I'll take a unattractive (I don't use the word ugly, because that's a disrespectful, bogus word) BBW with a raw body!!!!!! All I actually go by is body in life, I love meaty, fleshy females!!! So if you ain't got much of a face, but yo body bad, I'll spend the rest of my life with ya!!!!! Looks don't count at all with the child!!!!! Lol and if you highly UNATTRACTIVE, but you thick, you can get loved down too!!!!! I promise I never went by looks, just body!!!I'm a PERFECT guy in looks, so on this side I only settle for PERFECT bodies!!!! I'm thick myself, and always been thick, plan on always being thick, so I'm attracted to ONLY THICK females!!!! Plus beauty on the inside more important to me!!!! I like all colors too, but my main preference is black women!!!!! Their the goats, my fav of all time!!!! Nothing hotter or greater than natural black women!!!!!!! But if you not cute and you have no body, then that don't excite me at all and you don't get the time of day!!!!! There's somebody for you, but that somebody's not me!!!!!!!! I just NEED ya thighs to be thunder and that bottom to be fatter than life!!!!!! The fatter, the better to me!!!!! You just don't need to be half way dead!!!!! The only time skinny women are fun is if they are super cute, other than that I can't deal with it!!!!!!! Now on the other side of eternity I'd deal with skinny UNATTRACTIVE ones if I had to, but since I don't I can have pretty much what I choose,A HUMOGOUS BLACK WOMAN WUTH A JUMBO BUTT IS WHAT I DESIRE............... AND SHE AIN'T GOTTA BE CUTE EITHER!!! Body is the one thing that's mandatory with me!!!!! Gotta be fat or thick, in order to deal with me!!!!!!!!" πFYE O aka The dime piece Loveeπ

  98. S.... B....

    I was little girl and madly in love with David Ruffin's voice. Can anybody please tell me what do you call that voice. Is it falsetto or baritone or what. I love that man's voice ya'll. He could sing "Mary had a little Lamb" and I would still be hollering and screaming and on the floor. He had the sexiest voice Ever!

    S.... B....

    He said in his last interview with Eddie he did
    Know what kind of voice he had but he for sure could really sing.

    S.... B....

    Sandy Beaches Paul was the Baritone. David had great range he could go from falsetto to Baritone. But from what I read he was a tenor, 2nd tenor. Eddie 1st tenor. Most people don’t think of David as a Tenor but that’s what he was. This is how a music critic described David and Eddie ‘s voices;

    “Ruffin's gritty tenor and Kendricks' ethereal falsetto need each other.”

  99. K.... A....

    The Temptations are great soul group of all time from the motor city of Detroit. David Ruffin, Otis Williams, Ed Kendricks, Mel Franklin and Paul Williams made the girls cry so much about them. Unfortunately David Ruffin went downhill and Dennis Edwards took over and the rest of them were happy. RIP, Mel, Paul, David, Otis, Ed and Dennis what great soul legends they were.
