Beyond Appearances - Bass

You think you know me
and you tell me so
often enough
it gets kinda wearing
but the thing is that
you don't know me at all
Beyond appearances
I'm not just what you see
Not an open book
take a closer look
and you might be surprised.

That's what they all say
and how many layers
are to be found
is it just a veneer
and maybe that's so
for some people
not me, I hope
complex and intricate
interesting, you see ?

You think you've solved it
the answer is clear
the conundrum is answered
there's no quandary here
but that's where you're wrong
and I'm right here to tell you
this girl is a lot stronger than you know.

That's what they all say
and how many layers
are to be found
is it just a veneer
and maybe that's so
for some people
not me, I hope
complex and intricate
interesting, you see ?..

Exciting and strangely unique
are some of the words
that I think you might seek
to describe this girl
who is nothing like you
you think you know me
you think you know me.....

That's what they all say
and how many layers
are to be found
is it just a veneer
and maybe that's so
for some people
not me, I hope
complex and intricate
interesting, you see ?

you think you know me
beyond appearances what do you see
you think you know me
you think you know me
Beyond appearances.
