Lyrics[]
[Intro: Justin Bieber]
Whoa oh, oh oh
[Verse 1: Carly Rae Jepsen]
Hello I know it’s been a while
I wonder where you are
And if you think of me (Yeah)
Sometimes ‘cause you’re always on my mind
You know I had it rough, trying to forget you but
The more that I look around, the more I realize
You’re all I’m looking for
[Chorus: Carly Rae Jepsen]
What makes you so beautiful
Is you don’t know how beautiful you are, to me
You’re not tryna be perfect
Nobody’s perfect, but you are, to me (To me)
It’s how you take my breath away
Feel the words that I don’t say (I don't say)
I wish somehow I could say them now
Oh, I could say them now, yeah
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
Just friends, the beginning or the end
How do we make sense, When we’re on our own?
It’s like, you’re the other half of me
I feel incomplete, yeah, I should have known
Nothing in the world compares
To the feelings that we share, it’s so not fair
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
What makes you so beautiful
Is you don’t know how beautiful you are, to me
You’re not tryna be perfect
Nobody’s perfect, but you are, to me (To me)
You try to take my breath away
Feel the words that I don’t say
I wish somehow I could say them now, oh
[Bridge: Carly Rae Jepsen & Justin Bieber]
It’s not you, blame all on me, I was running from myself
‘Cause I couldn’t tell, how deep that we, we were gonna be
I was scared it’s destiny, but it hurts like hell
Hope it’s not too late, it’s just a twist of fate (Yeah)
[Chorus: Carly Rae Jepsen & Justin Bieber]
What makes you so beautiful
Is you don’t know how beautiful you are, to me
You’re not tryna be perfect
Nobody’s perfect, but you are, to me (To me)
It’s how you take my breath away
Feel the words that I don’t say
I wish somehow I could say them now
Oh, I could say them now, yeah
[Outro: Carly Rae Jepsen & Justin Bieber]
Mmm
