Beautiful Thing - Lyrics - Daphne Rubin-vega

I'm still growing but I changed direction so many times Moving sideways like a twisted up vine I've watched the years change all that is around me Sun and the wind swept all of it away But I'm still thankful for each and every day The rain always seems to come just at the right time Feed my roots so I can see the sky again All I need is the earth that I stand on I try to keep my feet planted that way I'm just happy to be here another day It's a beautiful thing And don't try to change it It's a beautiful thing And everything is cool It's a beautiful thing I know it sounds old But if it ain't broke don't mess with a beautiful thing There's people who'd die for you And some who just don't care We're all in the middle with our own cross to bear I wanna let you know how it is with me I look you in the eye and hear myself say I wouldn't wanna be any other way It's a beautiful thing And don't try to change it It's a beautiful thing And everything is cool It's a beautiful thing I know it sounds old But if it ain't broke don't mess with a beautiful thing Don't mess with me Don't mess with me Don't look no better than to mess with a beautiful thing There's no reason why we can't live in a perfect world It's a beautiful thing And don't try to change it It's a beautiful thing And everything is cool It's a beautiful thing I know it sounds old but If it ain't broke Don't try to fix it It's a beautiful thing And don't try to change it It's a beautiful thing And everything is cool It's a beautiful thing I know it sounds old but If it ain't broke Don't try to fix it If it ain't broke Don't try to fix it If it ain't broke Don't mess with a beautiful thing
