You wanna be a lawyer but the world seems so unfair
And you wanna be a politician but the world don't care
You wanna be a missionary, share your soul out wide
Just be my lover babe, let me hold you by my side
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to be
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to be
You wanna be a zoo keeper, keep the animals at bay
You wanna be a therapist but really have your say
You wanna be a traveller, be anywhere but here
Just be my lover babe, now let me hold you near
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to be
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to be
You say that you're a one-way ticket
When will you ever learn
Journeys they start, go out and then come back again
If you're gonna be a ticket I wanna be your return
So you wanna be a lawyer but the world seems so unfair
And you wanna be a politician but the world don't care
And you wanna be a missionary, share your soul out wide
Well just be my lover babe, let me hold you by my side
The beautiful things they come for free
And the beautiful things they happen to be
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to be
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things just happen to me
The beautiful things they come for free
The beautiful things they happen to me
