Things People Want Songtext
von Paul Draper

More respect, a bigger pool, a newer car, designer bags and a nanny
Popularity in the community,
I never new that life could be this sad, so shallow and underhand
Will one more purchase make me glad? Glad of the man I am
I′ll make a list of things that I could buy
To feel better and make me happy, am I happy?

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain't the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain′t the same

Friendships that are meaningful,
waking up with someone that makes you happy
Peace of mind, a healthy life, is all I need to make me feel worthy


I don't focus on the things that
make me sad, the things I will never have
I focus on my simple daily life, I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I'm happy

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain′t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain′t the same

I don't focus on the things that
make me sad, the things I will never have
I focus on my simple daily life, I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I′m happy

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain't the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain′t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain't the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain′t the same
