A Beautiful World

Tell me you're leavin' as you slam the door

You say it's got you beat

I sit and wonder what you're waiting for

Workin' both sides of the street

You got your alibis, I've got mine

We can take the easy way out

How can we make it, if we both stop tryin'

That's not what this is all about

And I can't stop you now

You can go where you want to go

Can't I find a way to let you know

That it's a beautiful world

A beautiful night

Why don't we take it easy

Why do we have to fight?

So lay down here beside me

My beautiful girl

Won't you let me make it right now?

It's a beautiful world

I know there's things about me you can't stand

I hear it often enough

I know it's lonely with a travelling man

I know it gets pretty rough

But when I'm out there doin' my job

Out on the avenue

Then you ain't there baby, somethin' gets lost

I get lonely too

Well I can't stop you now

You can go where you wanna go

Can't I find a way to let you know?

That it's a beautiful world

A beautiful night

Why don't we take it easy

Why do we have to fight?

So lay down here beside me

My beautiful girl

Won't you let me make it right now?

It's a beautiful world

And when I roll back home and you're not there

This is one big empty city babe,

No love left in the air, anywhere

It's a beautiful world, a beautiful world,

Why don't we take it easy, my beautiful girl
