Beautiful, But Dumb - Lonnie Johnson

To marry a beautiful woman these days,

Is just like a murder crime

To marry a beautiful woman these days,

Is just like a murder crime

If you lookin' for a real good woman,

Boy you just wastin' time

First she don’t know how to sweeten your coffee,

She can’t even make up your bed

She don’t know how to sweeten your coffee,

She can’t make up your bed

She can’t even roast your meat

And how she mess up your bread

Next she can’t bake cornbread,

She can’t even boil beef stew

She can’t even bake cornbread,

She can’t boil beef stew

Man if your woman is beautiful and dumb,

That don’t mean a thing to you

My gal baked me some bread this morning,

The bread refused to rise

My gal baked me some bread this morning,

The bread refused to rise

The crust was tough on the bread,

Was as the rubber on a Maxwell tyre

Some men crave beautiful women,

But in my life it’s not worthwile

Some men crave beautiful women,

But in my life it’s not worthwile

After all they’re just beautiful,

Ain’t got sense of a newborn child
