lyrics

You've got a girl
of course you do
I mean, come on, just look at you
I'm not surprised
You're popular
you're in that crowd
your teeth are white and your laugh is loud
and your eyes…

You're in
high school
stay thin
be cool
things will
be just fine
for the beautiful boy
let go
get tan
I know
you can
they'll want
to spend time
with the beautiful boy

You've got a girl
she's just like you
she's a work of art and knows it too
'cause it's plain to see
You're muscular
you know I'm right
Your soul was born for summer nights
and ice tea

School's done
you're through
you've won
it's true
Go out
for a drive
you're the beautiful boy
College
calling
fall is
falling
soon I'll
say goodbye
to the beautiful boy

Have you got a girl?
I bet you do
I hope she's sweet and kind and good to you
and good at heart
what's next for you
what's life about
these are questions that you ought to figure out
it's a new start

'cause looks fade
real fast
you played
they passed
you don't
want to be
just a beautiful boy
be more
than tall
go for
it all
be more
than they see
just a beautiful boy
