He’s the ugliest guy I’ve ever seen,
His hair’s a mess and his eyes are mean.
I sit and read a magazine,
While he just stares at me.
Then I look at him and his seyes are red,
Something’s happening in his head.
Is it something I did or said,
To make you so angry?
Oh, you have to understand my dear,
Listen close, I want you to hear,
Drain your eyes of all that fear,
And listen to my song.
I’m a Beast,
And I’m not happy in the least.
I’m a Beast,
And not a lawyer or a priest.
Can help me out.
My hopes are set on you, my dear,
To put an end to all my tears,
I’ve been waiting all these years,
For your love to rescue me.
Still I’m a Beast,
And I’m not happy in the least.
I’m a beast,
And not a lawyer or a priest,
Can help me out.
And when you leave tomorrow,
My heart will fill with sorrow,
When you walk out that door,
I will surely die.
Don’t pound your chest, don’t go berserk.
If you think that way it’ll never work.
You’ve missed the point if you think it’s me.
I can’t rescue you.
I know that your’re not used to this.
You use your teeth.
You use your fists.
But listen to your heart and then,
You’ll know what to do.
Oh, you have to understand, my dear.
Listen close, I want you to hear.
Drain your eyes of all that fear.
And listen to my song.
You’re a Beast.
And you’re not happy in the least.
You’re a east.
And not a beauty queen or priest,
Can help you out.
And when I leave tomorrow,
If it should cause you sorrow,
When I walk out that door,
Be brave enough to cry.
I got back in the early morn.
The plates were smashed and the curtains torn.
But he sat there in a rocking chair,
With a brand new smile.
His hair was combed.
And his teeth were brushed.
His shirt was pressed.
And his toilet flushed.
Was this the lonely fellow,
I’d left wandering in the wild?
Oh, you have to understand my ear,
I listened close and felt my tears.
I drained my heart of all my fears,
And found a brand new song.
I’m a Prince.
And I hope I can convince,
You I’m a Prince.
And I’ve been really happy since,
I found out.
True love is built on sharing,
A special kind of caring,
That reaches out to others,
And also to yourself.
Yes, you’re a Prince.
And I’ve loved you ever since,
You were a Beast.
It never mattered in the least.
Now you’ve found out,
We’ll reach for our tomorrows,
Unafraid of sorrows.
We’ll build a bridge through all the years,
Of love and unity.
