Some People's Lives
Janis Ian / Rhonda Fleming
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
And some people's lives fade like their dreams
Too tired to rise, too tired to sleep
And some people laugh when they need to cry
And they never know why
Didn't anybody tell them
Didn't anybody see
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me
Some people ask if the tears have to fall
Then why take your 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
