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.
