Beautiful Man lyrics
by Lori McKenna



Well I should have told you I sold my soul to an angel

I should have told you this world is not my own

I should have wrapped you, wrapped you like a present

I should have gotten to you before you were grown



I should have whispered in your ear when you were lonely

I should have taken you, taken you by the hand

I should have told you you are, you are worthy

I should have shown you, you are, you are a beautiful man



I want to save you from yourself

I want to save you from everybody else

I want to be inside you when I can

And I am doing the best that I can

For my beautiful man



I should have told you I would be difficult

I should have shown you the scars on my soul

I should have told you I wanted you to take care of me

Without allowing you any of my control



And I want to save you from myself

I want to save you from everybody else

I want to be inside you when I can

And I am doing the best that I can

You beautiful man

I am doing the best that I can

Oh, you beautiful man



I should have told you I was not good enough for you

I should have whispered I am unkind



I want to save you from yourself

I want to save you from everybody else

I want to save you from myself

I am doing the best that I can

For my beautiful . . .

. . . save you from yourself

I want to save you from everybody else

I want to save you from yourself

And I am doing the best that I can

For my beautiful man

For my beautiful man
