Send "Beautiful" Ringtone to Cell

If I was beautiful like you, oh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would be crying out murder and I'd just laugh and get away
With it too. like you do.

If I was beautiful like you, I would never be at fault
I'd walk in the rain between the raindrops, bringing traffic to a hault.

But that will never be, that will never ever be. 'cause I'm not beautiful like you.
I'm beautiful like me.

If I was beautiful like you, I'd be quick to assume. they'd do anything to
Please me why not. I see their reaction when you walk into the room.

CHORUS

If I was beautiful like you, I'd have so many friends all fighting for my time
To be next in line. so if I hurt one, I wouldn't have to make amends.

CHORUS

Send "Beautiful" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I love this song. It's saying how people can be beautiful in a different way to that "perfect dream" kind of way. But I heard this song in the film "My First Mister" and thought it was exactly how I felt a few years ago. I could have done with this song then.

    anyhow for my shame I`ve just discovered this song but in the version of garbage and...it became obsessive to me..maybe cos I`m inlove with a person who`s beautiful in that way...

    General Comment:I always got the impression that this song wasn't talking just beautiful on the outside. i got the impression of slight sarcasim..
    lines like:
    And I'd just laugh, and get away with it too

    I would never be at fault

    They'd do anything to please me, why not?

    All fighting for my time to be next in line
    So if I hurt one, I wouldn't have to make amends

    suggest that this person it's being sung about is taking advantage of the fact that people think she's pretty.. and the singer is saying, i'm not 'beautiful' like you, i'm beautiful like me (ie i'm a decent person)

    General Comment:i really like this song. i remember hearing it on the radio in the summer of 99. i could really relate to it. i always hated the fact that i was hispanic with brown hair and brown eyes. i always wanted to be blonde with blue eyes. i wished i was white and pretty like barbie. now i am thankful for who i am.

    General Comment:No Slvrstein, it's metaphorical. Haven't you heard the expression "Walk between the raindrops"?

    General Comment:"If I was beautiful like you
    I would never be at fault
    I'd walk in the rain between the raindrops
    Bringing traffic to a halt"

    i think this means that you have to be skinny to be beautiful
