Lyrics
Look at me, I'm one of the beautiful people High in my ivory tower Mistress of all that I see Look at me, I'm, oh, so connected Protected by beautiful people Always so certain of company by my side At least they provide me with someplace to hide In my Upper East Side apartment, I am living a life of ease Thanks to one very friendly broker and 260 Gs When I'm not reading Town and Country I'm exploring the world of Elle I deplore anything nouveau and adore everything nouvelle In my latest designer dresses I am fashionably in the know And I'm equally stylish wearing black chiffon Every Saturday night's a party Where I play with a sumptuous set And we only drink French Champagne 'til the dawn Toasting the guests Toasting the host Toasting the food Toasting ourselves Aren't we the most? Well, look at me, I'm one of the beautiful people Surrounded by beautiful people Why do I feel so alone? Just look at me, who was I deceiving Believing in beautiful people? Soaring was easy with company by my side Pity that nobody cared what laid inside But then you came along Quite a sight, I have to confide With your shirt needing pressing, a stain on your tie And your left shoe untied And you reeked of cologne And I've never known anyone so fond of plaid But then your jokes made me laugh 'Til I had lost all control And when you looked in my eyes You saw straight through to my soul With just one touch of your hand, I felt so safe and alive I'll never force you to stay, but I'll be damned not to try Why should I say goodbye? I'll say goodbye Goodbye to the beautiful people Goodbye to the charge card and Guccis Goodbye to the room with a view I'll say farewell to Hampton vacations And nations of beautiful people And say hello to beautiful you
