Isn't it strange
Ain't it a shame
People walking down Broadway
Begging for change
We just walk by
Don't hear that they're crying
We just keep on typing on our two ways
Oblivious to other people's pain

Gotta open up our eyes
Gotta read between the lines
Gotta listen to the sound

Cause this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
We're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Woo
Hey hey hey

You feel so alone
Your problems at home
They always seem to follow you wherever you go
Caught in a daze
You wish you could change
But you always tell yourself
That hopes seems a million miles aways

Gotta wake up from your sleep
Gotta stay awake to dream
Gotta open your heart and believe
Oh

Cuz this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
Hey we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Hey hey hey

One two three yea
It's a roller coaster life
Up and down and side to side
Just shout to get it right

Cuz this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life you only get one shot
So gives thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
Hey we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Hey hey hey
Woo
Ha!

I wrote this lyric for you
All by myself
What makes you think I need you
Or anybody else
But when you see me walking
Just staring at my feet
Cause I'm not all about you
I'm already complete

Hope this doesn't make you cry
But I don't wanna make you mine
I told you for the millionth time
That I don't need you in my life

But you can see through me (yeah)
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

I wake up thinking of you
And that weirds me out
I try hard not to call you
But I can't do without
Hearing your voice tell me
That I am on your mind
It wouldn't work to rush this
I'll come around in time

I hope that you can understand
Right now I don't know where I stand
I'd rather hide behind these walls
Pretending I don't care at all

But you can see through me (yeah)
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

Life keeps going on
The world keep spinning round
Can't we stop going in circles
Am I afraid of what they'll say
Or too confused to see
You and me

But you can see through me (yeah)
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud (I'm just afraid)
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

But you can see through me (You can see through me)
How you get to me (How you get to me)
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a change
And I fortunately know a little secret
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to me crying
"Will you help us, pretty please?"
And I help them!
Yes I do!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
They're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On ladies who withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man

Poor unfortunate souls
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
If you wanna cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp
Take a breath
Go ahead
Sign the scroll
Nick and Kevin
Now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
You poor unfortunate souls

In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to me crying
"Will you help us, pretty please?"
And I help them!
Yes I do!

Those poor unfortunate souls
