Here I am, it’s me
Please enjoy the view
You’ll see my nose has once been broken
And my teeth are messed up, too
 
My left shoulder sits lower
Than the one that’s on the right
It’s because of a curvature
In my spine that’s very slight
 
And when it comes to style
I’m always wearing jeans
And a skeptical expression
On my face that comes off mean

I’m sort of tall and I’m a man
So you might think I’m tough
Especially when I argue
And I go off the cuff
 
But you ought to see my heart
It’s got its own thing going on
It’s buried deep inside of me
Burning brighter than the dawn
I’ve never seen it, but I just know
It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows
It’s my most beautiful part
So, you ought to see my heart
 
Well, the outer part of me
Is a veritable mess
And if we were talking smells
Let’s talk about my breath
 
I’ve got bad tattoos and unpaid dues
I’m as old as I look
And on the subject of ornery
Hell, I wrote the book
 
But you ought to see my heart
It might come as a surprise
It’s so full of love and tenderness
And measures twice the average size
I’ve never seen it, but I just know
It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows
It’s my most beautiful part
So, you ought to see my heart
 
Oh, I wear worn out clothes
And I very rarely shave
And sometimes when I’m drinking
I forget how to behave
 
And if you watch me long enough
You’ll see me roll my eyes
When I hear the words I love you
And other comparable lies
 
But you ought to see my heart
We’re like the lion and the lamb
It’s like my heart belongs to someone else
But it’s really who I am
I’ve never seen it but I just know
It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows
It’s my most beautiful part
So, you ought to see my heart
 
Yeah, you ought to see my heart
It’s got its own thing going on
It’s buried deep inside of me
Burning brighter than the dawn
I’ve never seen it but I just know
It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows
It’s my most beautiful part
So, you ought to see my heart
 
It’s my most beautiful part
So, you ought to see my heart
