Beauty, you make me sad
Oh, you beautiful "baby's been had"
Who'll be able to love you for what you, what you really are
Beauty, what is your face?
What has it given the human race?
All that it has given me is a longing for
People and things I could never afford
Ah, beauty, now that the walls of Troy are tumbling down
And poor Oscar Wilde's verdict is out
And the Hope Diamond's up for auction
And what about Michael Jackson?
And I'm smokin' again in the morning, looking at beauty
Look at me, you who did align the apple once offered Eve
I fear you'll line the world we see
Filled with goodness, only hidden by beauty
You make me sad
You make me sad
You make me sad |


- Rufus wrote "Beauty" for Linda Thompson's album, Versatile Heart (2007)
