Lyrics Marianne Faithfull – For Beautie’s Sake

What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake

What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake

My heart’s achin’ ’cause I can’t ignore you
My heart’s breakin’ ’cause I can’t reward you
What can I do?
‘Cause you stepped inside my soul

Feel like you’re dyin’ for beautie’s sake
Say that you’re lyin’ for beautie’s sake
Who cares what you’re feeling?
You’ve lost and you’re dealing for beautie’s sake

In your circle you hold supreme sway
Can you imagine not getting your own way?
What can I do
‘Cause you stepped inside my soul?

What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake

My heart’s achin’ ’cause I can’t ignore you
My heart’s breakin’ ’cause I can’t reward you
What can I do
‘Cause you stepped inside my soul?

You stand astride the city takin’ it all in
Lyin’ before the fire admiring your own skin

What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
What are you takin’
What are you takin’ for beautie’s sake
