Lyrics:

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

Chorus:
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?

Chorus

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

Chorus till fade:
It's a beautiful world, a beautiful world,
Why don't we take it easy, my beautiful girl
