Beautiful girls with ugly guys

What do they take us for, anyway?

As they walk down the street, arm in arm

I see them and once again feel the need to ask myself the question

The question that has weighed heavily on me of late

«How is it possible that a guy and a girl

So dissimilar in physical appearance

There being such a disparity in how attractive each is

In nonetheless, in what would appear to be a relationship?»

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what)

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what)

How do we explain this?

An attraction of opposites?

No, that theory has been refuted by many experts in the fields of human

psychology

A much greater attraction seems to come from one more similar to oneself

Personality perhaps?

(What, what, what, what)

Without intending to sound judgmental

I would say he doesn’t look like what was once called a «live wire»

Or «the life of the party»

He appears rather expressionless

His movements are stiff, and even awkward

Perhaps he’s a person of some intellect?

An expert in science?

The arts?

Political theory?

No, I think not (What, what, what, what)

See how well tailored his clothes are?

How well cut his hair is?

(What, what, what, what)

I must confess to you, my listeners

That I have been a little less than honest

In pretending I had no answers to my previous questions

You see, I lost someone very dear to me (What, what, what, what)

Someone very beautiful

To someone much like him (What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what)

«Why,» you ask?

Surely there must’ve been some areas where you were deficient and he was not

No, I don’t believe so, my shortcomings were of an economic nature

He was rich, I was not (What, what, what, what)

You see, I underestimated the appeal to her of things

Imported things on wheels

Large things with manicured lawns and Olympic swimming pools

Things to wear around her neck that would glisten in the night light

Things!

(What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what)

Still, I am not bitter

Rather, I am an observer who saw first-hand how life may not always be fair

Would things have worked out differently between me and her

Had I moved up the corporate ladder quicker?

Been born of more noble stock?

Or had done better on one of our journeys to Las Vegas?

Perhaps

In fact, I’m certain of it

Things would’ve turned out differently between me and her

I know this now

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what)

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what)

It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what)
