You're Gorgeous Lyrics

Y. O. U. R. E. G. O. R. G. E. O. U. S.
Remember that tank top you bought me.
You wrote 'You're Gorgeous' on it.
You took me to your rented motor car and filmed me on the bonnet.
You got me to hitch my knees up and pulled my legs apart.
You took an instamatic camera and and pulled my sleeves around my heart.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through.

You said my clothes were sexy, you tore away my shirt.
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest snapped me 'til it hurt.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

You said I wasn't cheap. You paid me twenty pounds.
You promised to put me in a magazine on every table in every lounge.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through. I know you'll get me through.

This is what I just read somewhere:

"The catchy chorus was the thing that tricked fans of this song. People in love began singing it to their beaus and it even featured in some couples’ weddings as they danced to the throes of “Because you’re gorgeous — I’d do anything for you.” What Stephen Jones was actually talking about in this tune, was an aspiring model tricked into a soft-porn photo shoot by a charming photographer."

The chorus is awesome.

A lot of people, including me, just know the chorus. I think the chorus in isolation is fine and any chic would find it complimentary. In fact, in the past, I may have said "Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you" as a compliment and a heartfelt sentiment to a beau. But, now that I have read the rest of the lyrics, I wish that I had not said this.

If I said this to you, the only bit I meant was "Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you"and nothing more than that.

Sorry beau!

My Opinion

Ah, it's a lovely song. The subject matter is unpleasant, perhaps, but hey.

As I see it, it's a two-voice song. The chorus-voice (you're gorgeous!, etc) flattered and lied to the verse-voice into starting a relationship, andhaving some naked photos taken. Then the chorus-voice left, 'cause they were an evil bitch :-).

I feel violated when I listen to this song. But I don't know weather its to do with the inside joke I have with my friends about it, or because its just plain disturbing. Violated. Violated. (repeated for emphasis :P)

Lol the video was just him buying an old bomb of a car to smash with a sledgehammer right?

Seems to me it's told through the eyes of a young girl (although obviously sung by a guy)

If you imagine it as a woman its clear what it's about

Someone thinking that they're being loved but they're too naive to see they're being used.

I love this song though

Good old 90's (y)

haha why does it have to be a young girl?

to me, it sounds quite plausible for it to be a gay song

Cover art for You're Gorgeous lyrics by Babybird

Gay? Why cant the 'photographer' be a woman? That would be so much more twisted.

er.... i think this song is currently being used to advertise a kind of children's panadol in Australia, but hey it might be a different song, but i don't think so.....

lol this is on a car ad in australia, i think its for peurgot, perhaps the car in the ad was the rented one where the photo shoot took place...? hehe
