One of the Beautiful People (No Way to Treat a Lady)

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
