Lyrics

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
It’s hard
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You know it’s hard

Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it’s crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone

Maybe it’s just an ego problem
Problem is, I’ve been fooled before
By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She’s the most beautiful woman they know

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
Yeah it never ends
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman
You keep looking for lies
