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're gather'd

I'll pass buttons out that say

Beautiful people

Never have to 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've 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

Never ever 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 a beautiful people too

And if you take care of him

Maybe he'll take care of you

'Cause all of the beautiful people do

And you're all beautiful people too
