Using things and loving people
That’s the way it’s
got to be
Using things and
loving people
Look around and you
can see
That loving things
and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and
loving people
That’s the way it’s
got to be
Being loved is in
the giving
All we have is what
we share
Loving life is for
the living
You have to have a
heart to care
And loving things
and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and
loving people
That’s the way it’s
got to be
So put your hand
inside my hand
I don’t know where
the road will lead
We may not find the
things we want
But we will find the
things we need
And all we need is
love
Using things and
loving people
Brings you happiness
I’ve found
Using things and
loving people
Not the other way
around
‘Cause loving things
and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and
loving people
That’s the way it’s
got to be
For you and me
For you and me
