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
