You're gorgeous - Babybird

remember that tank-top you bought me?
You wrote "you're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet

You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an Instamatik camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an ice cube on my chest
Snapped me till it hurt

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table in every lounge

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

I find it bizarre that so many people view this song as a LULLABY???! It's about a naive model who gets talked into doing a soft-core shoot by a charming photographer. The verse is meant to be ironic with the photographer saying "You're gorgeous!" as he manipulates the girl into going beyond her boundaries. The "I'd do anything for you" is the girl's inner response to his flattery. This is not a love song folks! Still darkly beautiful though. I'm just surprised people don't get it.

@didleybopp You are right! The poem is cruel, heartless. That's what happen in the fashion business. But there are so many songs with vicious moods and still great songs. I could give you so many examples. But you are a good listner, you know what I'm talking about. But, still your comment made a realo close look, and from the beginning of my film I try to catch that true cruel poem.

Thank you for the comment
