Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends

In this world of changes
Nothing ever stays the same
Got no options, got no choices
But to play the game

I got to catch my shining star
So fresh, so clean - that't what we are
Get my grind on - and then go far
Hoochie coochie ah ha
Hoochie coochie ha

These are the things, these are the things
The things that dreams are made of (oh oh oh)

I ain't ever been that girl
The girl they call Jane plain
See I got where I am today
Because I use my brain - now what's my name?

I got to catch my shining star
So fresh, so clean - that't what we are
Get my grind on - and then go far
Hoochie coochie ah ha
Hoochie coochie ha

These are the things, these are the things
The things that dreams are made of (oh oh oh)

People always saying how it used to be
But ain't a damn thing changed so it's news to me
All that talking seems to sound like an excuse to me
So why you trying to make me something I refuse to be?
