Beautiful, starlit night
the summer air so devine
I caught you walking by the swimming pool at Scooter's party
beautiful girl like the cover of a magazine

I was just a middle-class boy from Knoxville
never had much coming in the way of my pocket
and never had much luck when I try to talk to
beautiful girls, girls like you

You're so beautiful to me
you're like a cover girl, a girl on a magazine
I can't believe when you say you'll love me forever, eternity, whatever
I do know, I don't know
come closer for a day, my eternity

Now that the summer's gone
you say that it's time to move on
you need, you want someone, something more than
what I have here and what I can give you now cause

I am just a middle-class boy from Knoxville
never had much coming in the way of my pocket
and still don't have much luck when I try to talk to
beautiful girls, girls like you

You're so beautiful to me
you're like a cover girl, a girl on a magazine
I shouldn't have believed when you said you'd love me forever, eternity, whatever
I do know, I don't know
come closer for a day, my eternity

You're so beautiful to me
you're like a cover girl, a girl on a magazine
I can't believe when you say you'll love me forever, eternity, whatever
I do know, I don't know
come closer for a day, my eternity
