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 doing

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 eye
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 doing

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, mmm, mmm
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
