Hey hey you, hey you
Listen to, listen to me
I want to tell you something about me
I have never done that before, except at yours
Maybe it is of use, I don't know you
I just see how sad you are
But your sadness will pass
I know it, you let on it
Soon you will be proud and happy again
Because you are beautiful
Even beautiful when you cry.
I always was such a warthog
Full of blains, too sweaty, too small
A lump, half blind, grouchy and gobsmacked
And I didn't even finish the 9th grade
My mother boozes, I was her biggest disaster
I hate them like they hate me
But your sadness will pass
I know it, you let on it
Soon you will be proud and happy again
Because you are beautiful
Even beautiful when you cry
You are beeeautiful, so beeeautiful even when you cry.
I don't have a grandma who means well for me
No rat, no dog, no friend
My future is a angled endless chute
Full of guck and modder and black as coal
How fine that sometimes an angel
Like you appears
And cries for me
