Songtekst

Beautiful people
you live in the same way 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
I'll pass buttons out that say

Beautiful people
then you'd never have to be alone
'cause there'll always be someone
with the same button on as you do
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
then I'll take care of you

Beautiful people
you look like friends of mine
and it's about time
that someone said it there and now
I make a vow that sometime, 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 have to be alone
'cause there'll always be someone
with the same button on as you
include her in everything you do
she may be sitting right next to you
she may be beautiful people too
so if you take care of her
maybe I'll take care of you
