  • You tell all the boys no
    Makes you feel good yeah
    I know you're out of my league
    But that won't scare me away oh no
    You've carried on so long
    You couldn't stop if you tried it
    You've built your wall so high
    That no one could climb it
    But I'm gonna try

    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
    Would you let me see beneath your perfect
    Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
    I wanna see inside
    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

    You let all the girls go
    Makes you feel good, don't it?
    Behind your Broadway show
    I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
    You've carried on so long
    You couldn't stop if you tried it
    You've built your wall so high
    That no one could climb it
    But I'm gonna try

    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
    Would you let me see beneath your perfect
    Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
    I wanna see inside
    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
    Oh, tonight

    See beneath, see beneath,
    I Tonight I

    I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
    I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
    We'll be falling, falling
    But that's okay
    Cause I'll be right here
    I just wanna know

    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
    Would you let me see beneath your perfect
    Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
    Cause I wanna see you say
    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
    Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
    Oh tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
    Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight Writer/s: Emeli Sande, Mike Posner, Timothy Mckenzie
