Rick James Lyrics - No One's Really Beautiful - Jude

This is just the basic, this is not the best 

Everybody knows that the trouble starts when you talk all about the rest 

First, you went to college and then you got yourself degrees 

Then, you got some pretty girls to get down on their knees 

You took yourself some pictures and you showed them to your friends 

Now, you're going straight to hell and that's where your story ends 

Well, one of those girls was a friend of mine 

One of those ones you took 

One of those girls didn't want to see her face on the cover of a dirty book 

One of those girls took her life last night just in case you had not heard 

And everybody knows that the pretty ones go down doing it for the work and 

Chorus: 

Don't be fooled 

Don't be flattered 

It's not like you ever mattered 

When the world around is falling down and every ship's been shattered 

Don't be fooled 

Don't flattered 

It's not like you ever mattered 

Not to me 

Ah, rick james was the original super freak 

Man, you're not so perfect 

Man, you're not a pearl 

You're nothing more, man, than a little piece of sand 

That grew up inside of a girl 

I don't go for the novocain 

'cause I don't like the pain 

And I don't fall for the jesus freaks when they seem like they want to win 

Chorus 

Bridge: 

I'm not looking for an answer anymore 

I'm not looking for a visionary 

Help me mother mary 

I've done my time 

I'm closer everyday to a life of crime 

The God above us and everywhere he watches all the people die 

Killing them as others waste their time in asking why 

But, time is all we're given and the happiness we seek 

It may be the peace within the meek or maybe the statement of the freak and 

Chorus (repeat)
