Lyrics
Turn out the light, yeah, the light And I might have a chance I guess I look slightly worse Than the Elephant Man Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better I went to high school And majored in looking real bad I got a real ugly mom And a real ugly dad Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, ohWhoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Dress for success That's what they say I'm such a mess That there just ain't no way I know my breath is the sweetest It really is great But when I try just to kiss you You say, "Better wait." Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Dress for success That's whaat they said Gimme some clothes To slap over my head Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better I went to Balboa Island And laid in the sand I may be as ugly as sin But at lest now I'm tan Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better -----------------------------------------------------
