10cc - For You and I Lyrics

The world is full of other people
Take a look around
We're quick to laugh when they've got troubles
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
And never look around
The world is full of other people
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, 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
We'll get a shock
It could surprise you

The world is full of other people
Take a look around
We set the pace while others listen
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
