Answer

长得 is used to talk about the present state of growth or something, and by extension, how something or someone looks. Adding 得 to 长 is like saying “the result of growth is”: it’s how something appears now. 
我只想看到你长得美： I just want to see how beautiful you are.

Answer

It is a song verse, maybe for that

Answer

Tbh the phrase 我只想看到你長得美 itself is kind of weird....
長得美 literally means "looks beautiful"
