Certified Gold in three countries, “When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman” by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show must be too relatable for the men out there who are madly in love with their women. Peaking at the first spot in the charts in Ireland and the UK, the song has undeniably become an international success by Dr. Hook.

Released in 1978 as part of the “Pleasure and Pain” album, Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show’s songs, such as “Sylvia’s Mother” made it to the U.S. Top 10 Hits.

Meaning Behind the Song

Everyone is unique in their own way, be it in talent, looks, or personality. Others are deemed the “most lucky ones” because they are given astonishing beauty that could easily have others head over heels for them. 

Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show’s “When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman” discusses the struggles a man experiences when with a woman possessing beauty. Of course, you think you’re the only one attracted to her? Nope, you have a lot of other people admiring her from afar.

Trust issues might start to arise from within, and then again, you must constantly remind yourself that the woman they are staring at is yours.

This country song and its groovy, slow vibes, along with the vocals of the band, would make you want to jive along and completely forget about your insecurities.
