Your hair looks a terrible sight
When we turn off the living room light
We don't feel as ugly as we really are
Now I am not intending to make you feel ashamed
When I turn off the living room light
Well it's not that you are ugly and I'm not being cruel
But I don't want to see you, the way that you are
When we turn off the living room light
When I turn off the living room light
To me you are gorgeous and everything's right
I don't have to see you, the way that you are
When I turn off the living room light
So I turn off the living room light
What's wrong in me pretending? 'Cause you can't help being plain
We don't feel so twisted up tight
Your clothes are old-fashioned, your knuckles are bony
And we don't feel as ugly as we really are
When I turn off the living room light
But I don't have to see you, the way that you are
We don't feel so ugly, we don't feel so draggy
It helps me to relax, dear, it helps to keep me cool
Your nose may be bulbous, your face may be spotty
Your skin may be wrinkled and tight
