1
Gimme just one thing of beauty
2
To last me for all of my years
3
Gimme just one thing of beauty
4
And wash away all of my tears
5
I won't need to get no religion
6
When I throw all my burdens away
7
So gimme just one thing of beauty
8
And I'll stand at this alter and pray
9
Gimme one thing of beauty
10
I need one thing of beauty
11
Baby one thing of beauty
12
It's hard times down on the corner
13
Yeah, there's loneliness out on the street
14
I mean, everywhere you go there's someone you know
15
Who suffered some kind of defeat
16
But there's dreams being dreamed down in the doorway
17
Of all these places nobody goes
18
Yeah the ones that just so many [are] praising
19
They're the ones now that nobody knows
20
They just need one thing of beauty
21
Maybe one thing of beauty
22
They need one thing of beauty
23
(That's right...that's all they need)
24
You can keep every diamond and ruby
25
You can forget all those pharaohs and kings
26
Gimme just one thing of beauty
27
Take away all these material things
28
Gimme one thing of beauty
29
Since it all turns to ashes and dust
30
Gimme one thing of beauty
31
Yeah, the rest of you can do what you must
32
But I need.... (Chorus)
33
There's hard times...
34
There's loneliness down on the street
35
But all we need is just one thing....
36
When you go way down
37
You're looking for one thing....
