Lyrics for But Beautiful

Love is funny or it's sad It's quiet or it's mad It's a good thing or it's bad But beautiful Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall, you fall And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all Love is tearful or it's gay It's a problem or it's play It's a heartache anyway But beautiful And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go And that would be But beautiful I know Love is tearful or it's gay It's a problem or it's play It's a heartache anyway But beautiful And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go And that would be But beautiful I know
