The world is full of other people (ooh ooh) take a look around We're quick to laugh when they've got troubles (ooh ooh) and we put 'em down We go We're not so hot you know It's like a roller coaster On a downward motion On a one way street We can't control our feet We're on the road to ruin Don't know what we're doin' She may be quiet She may be shy But don't you bring her down Don't pass her by The world of wisdom behind her eyes Could answer everything But you and I We seem to wander in a daydream (ooh ooh) We never look around The world is full of other people (ooh ooh) and we put 'em down We go We're not so hot you know It's like a roller coaster On a downward motion On a one way street We can't control our feet We're on the road to ruin Don't know what we're doin' She's not beautiful But don't make it plain You underestimate It's not a game A heart of gold Behind the drab Would comfort anyone But you and I Should try to see it from the other side (oooh) We'll get a shock It could surprise you The world is full of other people (ooh ooh) take a look around We set the pace while others listen (ooh ooh) never make a sound The rain must fall But we can change Our understanding will remain So take a moment To wonder why The world keeps turning For you and I
