Janis Ian - Some People's Lives lyrics

Some people's lives Run down like clocks One day they stop That's all they've got Some lives wear out Like old tennis shoes No one can use It's sad, but it's true Didn't anybody tell them Didn't anybody see Didn't anybody love them Like you love me Some people's eyes Fade like their dreams Too tired to rise Too tired to sleep And some people laugh When they need to cry An' they never know why Didn't anybody tell them That's not how it has to be Didn't anybody love them Like you love me Some people ask If the tears have to fall Then why take our chances Why bother at all And some people's lives Are as cold as their lips They just need to be kissed Doesn't anybody tell them Doesn't anybody see Doesn't anybody love them Like you love me 'Cause that's all they need
