Ballad of the Ugly Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What makes you think the soul is sweet Behind this ugly face? What makes you think that beauty lies Behind this muddy pair of eyes To blind you with a glance? [Verse 2] For I have been too long a toad To be a friend for you I pity you as you do me You're frightened by your sympathy Afraid that I'll respond [Verse 3] A woman on the subway Said she loved me for my face They locked her up inside her head To make her understand, they said He wasn't ugliness she loved but mind [Verse 4] I've been too ugly for too long I'm not about to bloom I see the world as it sees me And if you try to weep for me You do it for yoursеlf [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] For I have been too long a toad To be a friend for you I pity you as you do mе You're frightened by your sympathy Afraid that I'll respond
