Beautiful Girl
INXS feat. Pat Monahan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nicky's in the corner
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside, she says
Stay with me

Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wanna go home

From doorway to doorway
Street corner to corner
With neon ghosts in the city
And she says

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

(Stay with me, stay with me)

She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight

Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wants to go home

Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me (beautiful girl)




Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me, beautiful girl

Pat Monahan’s voice gives me chills. There’s nothing he touches that he doesn’t make better.

@pamgowran

Anyone that says that Pat is anything but awesome in this studio version, is OUT OF THEIR MIND! He sounds incredibly awesome! HE is an INCREDIBLE SINGER! Haters are just jealous of his talent!

@MrsHopkins73

Been scoring all the albums as part of Bimbo Barbarella's college of knowledge show and Wow, we got an exact score match to the original in my book! ❤❤❤

@splashsaturn

First I love Train, so no knock on any of their songs. But seriously, I just find this to be so much more powerful than anything I've heard from Train. Pat's voice fits this classic INXS song so perfectly. It almost...ALMOST... makes you forget the original. But it does what either a cover, or a newer version of an older song should do. It moves you to go back and rediscover the orginal. A real sense of appreciation for the song writing. Just beautiful... love it. Bravo. wow..
