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
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
