“Beneath Your Beautiful” talks about an unashamed desire, unreserved quest, and unrestrained plea for love. It tells first a male, then a female wooing a reserved and hesitant love interest.
Sometimes, we see people as unapproachable and assume them to be pompous and unfriendly, and then we cut them off. We do not look at the full picture, to see their reservations to be a product of previous experiences, fear of disappointment and hurt, lack of social skills or absence of self-confidence.
We need to learn to handle rejection aright. Sometimes, it is right to probe and push further, other times it is advisable to take a walk and try again later. Or never. Beneath your beautiful choose the former.
Persistence often pays, but know the difference between persistence and harassment. And if you keep getting a no, try becoming better and closer friends first, then try asking them out again. Or you can just get them to listen to Beneath Your Beautiful. That might just work some magic.
Emeli Sandé is easily one of the most powerful vocalist on the planet, her songwriting skills are also unbeatable. Her songs don’t just pass a message, they are also soothing. Teaming up with Labrinth for this song is a blessing to the ears of millions of listeners like me. I hope to see more from them. A joint album isn’t too much to ask for from them.
Feel free to share this song with that special someone who has been just a little bit harder to get than you thought. 

Beneath Your Beautiful Lyrics

[Verse 1: Labrinth]
You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you’re out of my league
But that won’t scare me away oh no
You’ve carried on so long
You couldn’t stop if you tried it
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I’m gonna try

[Hook: Labrinth]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don’t it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say please don’t hurt me
You’ve carried on so long
You couldn’t stop if you tried it
You’ve built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I’m gonna try

[Hook: Emeli Sandé]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
Ohhh, tonight
See beneath, see beneath

[Bridge: Labrinth and Emeli Sandé]
I’m gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I’ll hold your hand and then we’ll jump right out
We’ll be falling, falling
But that’s okay
Cause I’ll be right here
I just wanna know

[Hook: Labrinth and Emeli Sandé]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
Oooh, oooh, ooh
Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh tonight, we ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
We ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect, no
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
