I hate to break it to you, we had nothing in common

We were so far apart

You liked Top 40 radio and I had my Joni Mitchell

We were helpless from the start

You wanted something more than I could ever give

You wanted to feel my kiss from the heart

But I only loved you because you're gorgeous



Long, long sleepless nights so unsatisfied

Never wanted a car or your money or a diamond ring

I never asked for anything from you

But I'd take honesty over jealousy any day

Something that you could never give to me

Anyway, I only loved you because you're gorgeous

I only cared because you're gorgeous



Last night you came to me in a dream

I thought my therapy had rid you from my memory

I was wrong

Everyone says, "I love you"

Everyone says, "I need you"

Everyone says, "oh, darling marry me" so casually it seems

But I only loved you because you're gorgeous

Said, I only stayed because you're gorgeous



Everyone says, "I love you"

Everyone says, "I love you"

Everyone says, "I love you" so casually it seems

But I only loved you because you're gorgeous

Said, I only smiled because you're gorgeous

Mmm...you're gorgeous
