Other People's Lives

Other people?s lives / Don Johnson
Where the grass is always greener, where the grass don?t grow
You see everyting in colour till you see it close.
Everybody else?s street looks like it?s painted gold,
Don?t it always go that way?
Suzy wanted money to spend, wanted some rich older man
To take her from the world she was living in to the world on the other side.
Suzy was bored with her life, wanted something more to do with her nights,
She said: Someday I?m just gonna pack it up and leave this all behind!
She wanted a piece of paradise, she wanted a change of scene,
She wanted to live the privileged life and nothing in between.
Other people?s lives always look so easy
When you?re standing on the other side, other people?s lives.
Johnny was tired of working all day, working for the pennies for pay,
He said: Anybody?s life in the world has gotta be better than the life I got.
Johnny had big things in mind, had big dreams just burning inside,
He said: Someday I wanna climb my way out of this,
Climb my way right to the top!
He wanted a piece of paradise, he wanted to break away,
He wanted to live the easy life, you know what people say:
Other people?s lives always look so easy
When you?re standing on the other side.
Other people?s lives always look much better
When you?re seeing them through different eyes, other people?s lives.
Where the grass is always greener, where the grass don?t grow....
Suzy, she?s got the money to spend, married some rich older man,
He gives her everything in the world she needs, everything but love.
Johnny, he?s got the job of his dreams,
Now he wonders is this what it all means?
He says: Sometimes you know that paradise ain?t always what it seems.
Other people?s lives always look so easy...
Other people?s lives always look much better
When you?re seeing them through different eyes, other people?s lives,
Other people?s lives
Other people?s lives always look much better
When you?re seeing them through different eyes, other people?s lives.
