What Makes You Beautiful Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need makeup to cover up
Being the way you are is enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I could see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
[Post-Chorus]
You don't know you're beautiful
[Verse 2]
Oh, girl, come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
You're acting shy, I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You're insecure, don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need makeup to cover up
Being the way you are is enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I could see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
[Post-Chorus]
You don't know you're beautiful
[Verse 2]
Oh, girl, come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
You're acting shy, I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I could see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you at you and I can't believe
You don't know
[Post-Chorus]
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
When you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh, you don't know you're beautiful
And if only you saw what I could see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you at you and I can't believe
You don't know
[Post-Chorus]
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
