"You're way too beautiful, girl… That's why it'll never work. You'll have me suicidal, suicidal when you say, 'It's over.'"
Interesting perspective, certainly. And the repeated "d---- all these beautiful girls" has an oddly frank tone. Overall, Sean Kingston appears to be critiquing the beautiful girls who just play with the guys for the fun of it. He doesn't "think it's clever." That, I find laudable, though his use of the curse and poor grammar I don't.
Seventeen-year-old Sean Kingston has topped several charts and placed on several more with "Beautiful Girls" despite his kinda heavy Jamaican accent, which fits his hip hop-raggae style.
The music of the song heavily pulls from the classic "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. It's not exactly original or anything striking, though it really is standard for the genre.
Overall, it's decent if you like the genre. Still, it's worth mentioning that some radio stations use a version of the song that says "in denial" instead of "suicidal" for fear of teenage suicide rates.
