You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away oh no
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Oh, tonight

See beneath, see beneath,
I Tonight
I

I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay
Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Cause I wanna see you say
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

    My Interpretation:You tell all the boys no
    Makes you feel good yeah
    --She's too good for anyone, she never lets any guy in, it makes her feel in
    power.Not only she feels power but she believes she will get hurt by accepting love and so she wants to stay away from it.

    The guy however,sees beyond her beauty, he sees the inner beauty and no matter how much difficult it is to let any guy in,he wants to try cause he sees something special in that girl. There's a special connection, he feels more than being attracted to her from her looks. "Take it off now girl,i wanna see inside"
    So that guy begs the girl to show him how she really is like cause he really believes she's even more perfect than what she looks like.

    I think the girl was being hurt in the past by someone who meant the world to her and she lost her faith in love after having her heart broken. She would rather stand out and hurt other than her own self, that makes her feel better, boosting her confidence cause she's a really insecure girl. She likes attracting guys, but her inner beauty is the one she hides away which the guy finds the most beautiful. So he feels the need to show her real love cause as I said there's a special something about the girl which he never felt before.
