Beautiful people
You live in the same world as I do
But somehow I never noticed you before today
I'm ashamed to say
Beautiful people
We share the same back door and it isn't right
We never met before but then
We may never meet again
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
I would run and take all your hands and
I'd gather everyone together for a day
And when we gather'd
I'll pass buttons out that say: Beautiful People
Then you'd never be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in everything you do.
Beautiful people
You ride the same subway as I do ev'ry morning
That's got to tell you something
We got so much in common
I go the same direction that you do
So if you take care of me
Maybe I'll take care of you
Beautiful people
You look like friends of mine
And it's about time
That someone said it here and now
I make a vow that some time, somehow
I'll have a meeting
Invite ev'ryone you know
I'll pass out buttons for
The ones who come to show
Beautiful people
You never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in ev'rything you do
He may be sitting right next to you
He may be beautiful people too
And if you take care of him
Well maybe he'll take care of you
'Cause all of the beautiful people do
And I'm a beautiful people too....
