Ballad of the Ugly Man

[Verse 1]
What makes you think the soul is sweet
Behind this ugly face?
What makes you think that beauty lies
Behind this muddy pair of eyes
To blind you with a glance?

[Verse 2]
For I have been too long a toad
To be a friend for you
I pity you as you do me
You're frightened by your sympathy
Afraid that I'll respond

[Verse 3]
A woman on the subway
Said she loved me for my face
They locked her up inside her head
To make her understand, they said
He wasn't ugliness she loved but mind

[Verse 4]
I've been too ugly for too long
I'm not about to bloom
I see the world as it sees me
And if you try to weep for me
You do it for yoursеlf

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
For I have been too long a toad
To be a friend for you
I pity you as you do mе
You're frightened by your sympathy
Afraid that I'll respond
