Beautiful People

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 of your hands

And I'd gather everyone together for a day

And when we're gathered

I'll pass buttons out that say

Beautiful people

Then you'll 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 every morning

That's got to tell you something

We have 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 everyone you know

I'll pass out buttons to the ones who come to show

Beautiful people

Then you'll never be alone

'Cause there'll always be someone

With the same button on as you

Include him in everything you do

Beautiful people

Beautiful people

I'll take care of you
