Janis Ian — Some Peoples Lives 2008

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Didn't anybody tell them? Didn't anybody see? Didn't anybody love them Like you love me? [Verse 2] Some people's eyes Fade with their dreams Too tired to rise Too tired to sleep And some people laugh When they need to cry And they never know why [Chorus] Didn't anybody tell them That's not how it has to be? Didn't anybody love them Like you love me? [Bridge] Some people ask— If the tears have to fall Then why take your chances? Why bother at all? [Verse 3] And some people's lives Are as cold as their lips They just need to be kissed [Chorus] Doesn't anybody tell them? Doesn't anybody see? Doesn't anybody love them Like you love me? 'Cause that's all they need
