[Verse 1]
City life just leaves me weak
All this madness on the street
Need to get away today
Live my life a different way
Is it only fantasy to dream about a perfect me?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
[Verse 2]
Buy the latest magazine
And aspire to the dream
Perfect home and perfect kids
Not a life lived on the skids
Is it only fantasy or could it be reality?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
[Bridge]
Now I can see myself without a care in the world
It's a sun shining, money-spending, green and healthy new world
Is it only fantasy or could it be reality?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
City life just leaves me weak
All this madness on the street
Need to get away today
Live my life a different way
Is it only fantasy to dream about a perfect me?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
[Verse 2]
Buy the latest magazine
And aspire to the dream
Perfect home and perfect kids
Not a life lived on the skids
Is it only fantasy or could it be reality?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
[Bridge]
Now I can see myself without a care in the world
It's a sun shining, money-spending, green and healthy new world
Is it only fantasy or could it be reality?
[Chorus]
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
I wanna live like beautiful people
Give like beautiful people
With like beautiful people around
