Hey, you're talking like a baby,
pushing things too far and getting on my nerves.
Up to this point I was like ok, she’s not yet ready
for the tide to turn and wash our words away.
Can't be so hard to keep it cool,
to watch your step before you move.
I think you're beautiful, but beautiful's not enough.
There's no one like you, I'll admit to this,
but you talk too much and I could use some sleep.
I know you're beautiful, but beautiful's not enough.
Kid, grand endings build up slowly,
we had a little fun, you got to say your lines and now I have my song.
It ain’t too soon to leave: there are treasures in the morning.
The more you hold me back, the more I crave for them.
Can't be so hard to keep it cool,
to watch your step before you move
I think you're beautiful, but beautiful's not enough.
There's no one like you, I'll admit to this,
But you talk too much and I could use some sleep
I know you're beautiful, but beautiful's not enough.
