"Some People's Lives" lyrics - JANIS IAN

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

Didn't anybody tell them
Didn't anybody see
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me

Some people's eyes
Fade like their dreams
Too tired to rise
Too tired to sleep

And some people laugh
When they need to cry
An' they never know why

Didn't anybody tell them
That's not how it has to be
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me

Some people ask
If the tears have to fall
Then why take our chances
Why bother at all

And some people's lives
Are as cold as their lips
They just need to be kissed

Doesn't anybody tell them
Doesn't anybody see
Doesn't anybody love them
Like you love me
'Cause that's all they need
