10000 Maniacs For You And I Lyrics

For You And I Lyrics

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
