The Beautiful Ones Lyrics

Baby, baby, baby
What's it gonna be?
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me?
Don't make me waste my time
Don't make me lose my mind baby
Baby, baby, baby
Can't you stay with me tonight?
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't my kisses please you right?
You were so hard to find
The beautiful ones, they hurt you
Every time
Pint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one's mind
The beautiful ones
(The beautiful ones)
Always smash the picture
Always every time
If I told you baby
That I was in love with you
Oh Baby, baby, baby
If we got married
Would that be cool?
You make me so confused
The beautiful ones
You always seems to lose

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can feel what this song means but I can't verbalize it. The music is not so rich but strangely gripping, and feels like a strong pulse. I like this song. Some people always makes us confused, don't they?...

OMG, you can listen to this song over and over again. Mariah sounds soo beautiful in this song. I especially like how she sings the part "Can you stay with me tonight?," I think this song is about how much you can fall in love with a beautiful person so easily but they are hard to live with and keep. But then again this is one of those hard to interpret songs. All I know is that this is a beautifuly sung song by Mariah Carey featuring Dru Hill.

I like this version, but Prince's is better.

This song appears to be about pornography. A woman laments her lover's involvement with the "beautiful ones."
