She is a diamond, I am a stone
I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome
Her daddy's a lawyer, mines not around
She has good manners, I'm rough all around

Well, you can come from something, you can come from nothing
You can be princess, you can be a working man
But in the end

We all want something else
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt or it's a seat in first class
We all want something we can't have

She wants to go to reastraunts in Beverly Hills where people stare
But I don't care, it's just what she grew up around
She drags me to parties where people ask me where I went to college
She knows damn well I barely finished school
She knows a lot about yearly salaries and trust funds and dividends
She knows that I don't really care at all
But we got together and it's working ok

You can come from something, you can come from nothing
You can be a princess, you can be a working man
In the end

We all want something else
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt or it's a seat in first class
We all want something we can't have

Well, you can spend your whole life looking for something
Something that might be
Right in front of your eyes
But you'll be looking for something else, you'll never find

We all want something else
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else
We all want something strange to us
We all want something else
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt or it's a seat in first class
We all want something we can't have
