If you don't look too close.
She has a lovely home and a beautiful family,

If you don't know what they've seen,
She has a lovely home and a beautiful family,
If you don't look too close.
She has a lovely home and a beautiful family,
If you don't look too close.
If you don't open your eyes and ears.
If you don't open your mind and heart.
She has a lovely home and a beautiful family,
If you don't look too close.
