you're beautiful
as beautiful as the sun
wonderful
you're wonderful
as wonderful as they come
and I can't help but feel attached
to the feelings I can't even match
with my face pressed up to the glass
wanting you
beautiful
you're beautiful
as beautiful as the sky
wonderful
it's wonderful
to know that you're just like I
and I'm sure you know me well
as I'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell
who you love and who you won't
no, who you love and who you won't
and I love you
as you love me
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(na-na-na)
(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(na-na-na)
so let the clouds roll by your face
we'll let the world spin on to another place
we'll climb the tallest tree above it all
to look down on you and me and them
and I'm sure you know me well
as I'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell
who you'll love and who you won't
no, no, who you'll love and who you won't
no, no, who you'll love and who you won't
no, no
don't let your life wrap up around you
don't forget to call, whenever
I'll be here just waiting for you
I'll be under your stars forever
neither here nor there just right beside you
I'll be under the stairs forever
neither here nor there just right beside you

[Ropey Lopey] is said to be the demo for this song.
Billy Corgan: (Guitar School 1996)
- "I used an Eighties 12-string Fender a bit on the end of "Beautiful," for this "walking" guitar line. It's hard to
pick out, though. You can hear the guitar most clearly when the song switches from the middle eight back to the
normal part of the song [at 2:41]."
Billy Corgan: (Impact Magazine 1996)
-
"My voice splits into octaves when I sing - especially up high," he explains. "It's very weird for me to sing low because
I don't really have it. 'Beautiful' was very difficult to sing because [tries singing it and wavers] I don't really have that
'low' to go to. I'm walking right on the tightrope of where my voice disappears, whereas when I sing up higher it's not
a problem."
