Things People Want

More respect, a bigger pool
A newer car, designer bags and a nanny
Popularity in the community
More facebook friends will make me feel happy

I never knew that life could be this sad
So shallow and underhand
Will one more purchase make me glad?
Glad of the man I am
I'll make a list of things that I could buy
To feel better and make me happy, am I happy?

Did I explain?
The things people want and
The things people get ain't the same
Did I explain?
The things people want and
The things people get ain't the same

Friendships that are meaningful
Waking up with someone that makes you happy
Peace of mind, a healthy life
Is all I need to make me feel worthy

I don't focus on the things that make me sad
The things I will never have
I focus on my simple daily life
I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I'm happy

I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I'm happy
