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

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

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

And he'll take care of you

And I'll take care of you
