UGLY MAN BLUES
Written by Marcy Levy
As recorded by the Marcy Levy Band, on "The Upside of Being Down" (2006).

CHORUS: If ever love again, Lord, let it be an ugly man.
Can't be nothin' sweeter than the love of an ugly man.

Listen: a good-lookin' man's always lookin' in a mirror,
Ain't but one thing he holds dearer,
You put on your best dress, he says: "What's wrong with your hair?"
An ugly man gonna love you no matter what you wear. CHORUS

He'll worship and adore you, treat you like a queen,
Shower you with flowers, gold and diamond rings.
It really doesn't matter; pay no mind to his face.
What's inside his heart is all the difference that it makes. CHORUS

When you're with an ugly man, all he sees is you.
A good-lookin' man be with every woman in the room.
[An] ugly man will love you, never think about himself.
To that good-lookin' man, you're just one more notch on his belt. CHORUS

Make him uglier than sin,
If I ever love again.
Make him look like a mangy dog,
With a face only a mother could love.
If I ever love again, Lord, let it be an ugly man.
If I ever love again, Lord, let it be an ugly man.
If I ever love again, Lord, let it be an ugly man.
