Handsome Dudes

(アルバム： Thelma Houston - 1983)

Handsome dudes, they don't turn me on
When all you got is good looks
You got nothing when they're gone
Handsome dudes, all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to no one
Prettier than me

As you stood there in the doorway
A picture of perfection
Every lady at the party
Made you move in her direction
When you're moving on me
Doing your best to con me
Stopped and asked me, what my sign was
I said "son, don't waste your time, 'cause..."

Handsome dudes do nothing for this fox
Oh, it takes more than good looks
To rock me in my socks, mm!
Handsome dudes are not my cup of tea
I don't wanna wake up next to no one
Prettier than me

Now, you didn't get the message
Though it couldn't have been clearer
You were just too busy looking
At your reflection in the mirror
Then I heard you saying, I know the game you're playing
You like your women when they're hard to get, ooh...

When you said to me, "my place or yours"
I said "son, neither one for sure"
I know your style and what your act is
You need whole, and the simple fact is

Handsome dudes all think they're dynamite
But I need more than good looks, honey
To get me through the night, yeah
Handsome dudes ain't all they're said to be
I don't wanna wake up next to no one
Prettier than me

Now, mama always told me
That you can't judge a book by its cover
And I realize the same applies
When you're picking out a lover...!
Whoa, oh...

When you said to me, "my place or yours"
I said "son, neither one for sure"
I know your style and what your act is
I've seen it all, and the simple fact is

Handsome dudes, they'll make me lose control
I don't need a man with good looks
I just need a man with soul
Handsome dudes, all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to no one
Prettier than me, no!
I don't wanna wake up next to no one
Prettier than me, oh no...

Handsome dudes, they don't turn me on
When all you got is good looks
I wanna tell you 'bout how you got nothing, when they're gone
(Ooh...) handsome dudes (yeah), all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to nobody
Prettier than me, oh ho...
Handsome dudes, they don't turn me on
I wanna tell you, darling
When all you got is good looks
You ain't got nothing, ain't got nothing when they're gone
Handsome dudes (no ho...), all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to nobody...
