Lyrics:

I got a girl, she's such a mess
She makes a rubbish bin look almost kind of sexy[?]
She's got a stain down her dress
It makes it look like she's been dancing in a sewer [?]
But they [?]

But underneath that poverty
I know she's got hidden quality
Underneath that crude exterior
I know she's got something superior

Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality

Though she'll never be a movie star
She really got a lot of class
Though she'll never be a movie star
She'll really [?]

[?] she loves me, ohhh
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her

Underneath that poverty
I know she's got hidden quality
Underneath that crude exterior
I know she's got something superior

Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
Whoa

I know I'm not a pretty sight
But hidden deep within me there is [?] Casanova
I know I no Romeo
I'm not a Valentino, but I might as well be [?]
But what they don't know

Underneath this poverty
She knows I got hidden quality
Underneath this crude exterior
She knows I got something superior

Oh whoa-oh
She says I got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
Whoa
