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
