The Who - Real Good Looking Boy
When I think back to the first time in my childhood,
when I saw that face, I thought right then,
that's a real good looking boy.
I saw myself in the mirror, in profile for the first time,
I thought, hey, that's a real good looking boy.
And I felt then that I moved
with all those lucky fucks and angles,
high in the theatre in the sky.
So I ran to my mother,
I said hey mom take a look at me.
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?
That's a real good looking boy.
That's a real good looking boy.
She said son, well you know you're an ugly boy,
You don't really look like him.
In this long line there's been some, real strange genes.
You got 'em all, you got 'em all with some extras thrown in.
That's a real good looking boy.
That's areal good looking boy.
Oh, that's a real good looking boy.
Yeah, that's a real good looking boy.
Wise me say...
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I, I can't help falling in love, in love with you.
Now I'm here with you little darling,
and you say, you're beautiful as you are,
and I've managed somehow to survive.
You arrived in my life like a fragrance,
you helped me find a way to laugh.
Now I know a so-called beauty lies
God gave him a face,
and he gave me something above.
God gave me a grace,
then he gave me sweet, sweet, sweet love.
You make me feel I'm real good looking boy.
I feel I'm real good looking boy.
Oh, that's a real good looking boy.
That's a real good looking boy.
