You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright

[pokerfan]

That line always bothered me, like, girl your cute but not all that, but whatever... On the other hand, it's accepting her for what she is. Not a beauty.

1. What's that old saying..."Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Something like that.

4. Exactly

Still, not much of a pick-up line.

3. Springsteen

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

The old gray mare...

[Aristus]

5. True beauty is where you find it.

An open mind sees beauty everywhere.

The slobs who use that line above without irony will never experience that, I guess...

[Arkansas Granny]

6. Sounds like an oldie to me.

"You Got What It Takes" by Marv Johnson

You don't drive a big fast car
You don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah
You got what it takes for me


Now, you don't live in a beautiful place
And you don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah
You got what it takes for me


Now when you're near me, ooo-wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me, whoa-yeah
My love comes tumblin' down, you send me


You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh-oh and whoa-whoa-oh
You got what it takes for me


Now when you're near me, little girl
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me, oh-yeah
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me


You don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress in the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face
But baby, you got what it takes (yeah, yeah)
To satisfy (yeah, yeah)
You got what it takes to set my soul on fire
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-yeah
You got what it takes for me, oh-yeah
You got what it takes
You don't need no money
Baby, you do need a new car
Come on, you know
You got what it takes for me
Little girl, you got what it takes for me
Yes, baby, you got what it takes for me
Oh, yeah
