The Face
She had a way about her
She always made hot soup and cocoa
When the weather was cold
She always danced around the room
Like she was taking ballot lessons
From a five year old
And if you saw her, you'd be in love
Long before you encountered any of the above
All because of the face
I'm in love with the face
Does it seem so wrong?
Does it seem so base?
Back when she was mine, I gave her praise all over the place
Mainly because of the face
I still remember the first time
We walked together on the street
And the heads would turn
Cars driving up on sidewalks,
Firemen all losing control of their hoses
While the streets would burn
And she pretended she didn't see
Or she'd say,
"Why's everybody always staring at me?"
I believe it's your face
Your remarkable face
Could it be so wrong?
Could it be so base?
It's not the perfume or the flowers or the lace
Only your beautiful face
She was intelligent
Could that have mattered?
Her hair was long and brown
Could that have mattered?
She was so innocent
Could that have mattered?
Her voice, a perfect sound
Could that have mattered?
It was the face.
And it was only the face.
Is that so wrong?
Y'know, actually, I've got a problem with that…
Just play your bass!
How could a man who's never seen her inborn grace
Venture to fathom The Face?
Sadly, I have to admit to the fact that the whole love affair
Was entirely due to the face.
Such a heavenly face
Does it seem so wrong?
Does it seem so base?
I think that God just wanted to give us some hope
In these final days of the human race…
So He gave us The Face
Her incomparable face
I could not break away from its embrace
When she was mine, I'd babble and grovel all over the place
Mainly because of the face
Her incomparable face
Such a heavenly face
I'm in love with the face
La Cara
Tenía algo especial
Siempre preparaba sopa caliente y chocolate
cuando el clima estaba frío
Siempre bailaba por la habitación
como si estuviera tomando clases de ballet
de un niño de cinco años
Y si la veías, estarías enamorado
mucho antes de encontrarte con cualquiera de lo anterior
Todo por la cara
Estoy enamorado de la cara
¿Parece tan mal?
¿Parece tan básico?
Cuando ella era mía, la elogiaba por todos lados
Principalmente por la cara
Todavía recuerdo la primera vez
que caminamos juntos por la calle
y las cabezas se giraban
Los autos conduciendo por las aceras,
los bomberos perdiendo el control de sus mangueras
mientras las calles ardían
Y ella fingía que no veía
o decía,
'¿Por qué todos siempre me están mirando?'
Creo que es tu cara
Tu cara notable
¿Podría ser tan malo?
¿Podría ser tan básico?
No es el perfume ni las flores ni el encaje
Sólo tu hermosa cara
Era inteligente
¿Eso importaba?
Su cabello era largo y castaño
¿Eso importaba?
Era tan inocente
¿Eso importaba?
Su voz, un sonido perfecto
¿Eso importaba?
Era la cara.
Y solo era la cara.
¿Es eso tan malo?
Sabes, en realidad, tengo un problema con eso...
¡Solo toca tu bajo!
¿Cómo podría un hombre que nunca ha visto su gracia innata
atreverse a comprender La Cara?
Lamentablemente, debo admitir que todo el romance
fue completamente debido a la cara.
Tal cara celestial
¿Parece tan mal?
¿Parece tan básico?
Creo que Dios solo quiso darnos algo de esperanza
en estos últimos días de la raza humana...
Así que nos dio La Cara
Su cara incomparable
No podía escapar de su abrazo
Cuando era mía, balbuceaba y me arrastraba por todos lados
Principalmente por la cara
Su cara incomparable
Tal cara celestial
Estoy enamorado de la cara
