You’re a painting by Picasso that deserves the center stage
Like the Girl before a Mirror, your true beauty grows with age
If Pablo laid his eyes on you, you’d be his greatest model
I’d swipe that picture from the MoMa and take off full throttle
Any way we look, you’re a work of art
Colors swirl in you, beaming from your heart
How can we describe all your dignity?
You’re a work of art, anyone can see
You must know Leo daVinci, yeah his name was really long
He became the perfect artist so I put 'em in this song
Made the famous Mona Lisa but compared to you, it blows
He’d have painted you had he not croaked 500 years ago
Nobody could capture you - not Rembrandt or Monet
And if Matisse were still alive, he'd surely stand and say
Any way we look, you’re a work of art
Colors swirl in you, beaming from your heart
How can we describe all your dignity?
You’re a work of art, anyone can see
If Vincent van Gogh were here, he'd find you a delight
And he'd be more enchanted by you than the starry night
But I beat him to the punch and I painted you, my dear
I'd tell him all about it if he'd only lend an ear
Any way we look, you’re a work of art
Colors swirl in you, beaming from your heart
How can we describe all your dignity?
You’re a work of art, anyone can see
