Pulchritude
Meaning beauty (I knew that - was very surprised when I found out the meaning many, many years ago)
Apparently the ugliest word to mean beauty!

She told me with her words
and showed me with her actions
but with that omnipotent pulchritude
and that confidence that glistens
She caught me unprepared
entranced without a care
absolutely unaware
and so I didn't see
and I surely didn't listen
