About The Song
The Bellamy Brothers don’t get enough credit for how much their sound lay the groundwork for the success of Alabama.
One could be forgiven for thinking that “Do You Love as Good as You Look” was an Alabama record, though the title is certainly a Bellamy Brothers signature: the single entendre.
There are no surprises here. “Do You Love as Good as You Look” really is the pickup line the title indicates, and the song requires us to suffer along until the end because, well, it’s not a good enough pickup line to get the gal to go home with you after the first chorus. At least they don’t sound like serial killers on this, which is more than I can say about their next single.
They had already preceded this with “Lovers Live Longer,” the top five lead-off single from Sons of the Sun. They followed “Look” with a series of non-LP singles that would later surface on compilations: the (horrifying) top fifteen “They Could Put Me in Jail,” the top ten “You’re My Favorite Star,” and the holiday single “It’s So Close to Christmas (and I’m So Far from Home).”
We’ll see the brothers again in 1982.

Lyrics
Long blonde hair, sky blue eyes
Yeah, that well-bred look is easy to recognize
A tailored dress, a fit so fine
And it adds up to the question on my mind
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Can you satisfy your man, like your body says you can?
Judging from the cover, I’d love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
If you could read my mind, you might blush blood-red
But then again you might come over here instead
I see they brought your check and soon you’re bound to go
If I don’t make my move right now, I may never know
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Can you satisfy your man, like your body says you can?
Judging from the cover, I’d love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Judging from the cover, I’d love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
