"Handsome Dudes" lyrics

"Handsome Dudes"

Handsome dudes, they don't turn me on
When all you got is good looks, you got nothing when they're gone
Handsome dudes, all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to no one prettier than me

As you stood there in the doorway
A picture of perfection
Every lady at the party
Prayed you'd move in her direction
Then you moved in on me
Doing your best to con me
Stopped and asked me what my sign was
I said, "Son, don't waste your time 'cause

Handsome dudes do nothing for this fox
Oh, it takes more than good looks to rock me in my socks
Handsome dudes are not my cup of tea
I don't wanna wake up next to no one prettier than me"

Now, you didn't get the message
Though it couldn't have been clearer
You were just too busy looking
At your reflection in the mirror
Then I heard you saying
"I know the game you're playing
I like my women when they're hard to get"

Then you said to me, "My place or yours?"
I said, "Son, neither one for sure
I know your style and what your act is
I've seen it all and the simple fact is

Handsome dudes all think they're dynamite
But I need more than good looks to get me through the night
Handsome dudes ain't all they're said to be
I don't wanna wake up next to no one prettier than me"

Mama always told me
You can't judge a book by its cover
And I realize the same applies
When you're picking out a lover

Don't need no handsome dudes

When you said to me, "My place or yours?"
I said, "Son, neither one for sure
I know your style and what your act is
I've seen it all and the simple fact is

Handsome dudes don't make me lose control
I don't need a man with good looks, I just need a man with soul
Handsome dudes, all you get is what you see
I don't wanna wake up next to no one prettier than me
I don't wanna wake up next to no one prettier than me"

I don't need no handsome dudes
I don't need no handsome dudes
Handsome dudes

I don't need no handsome dudes
I don't need no handsome dudes
