She is a diamond, I am a stone [bad word] from nowhere, she's been to Rome
Her daddy's a lawyer and mine's not around
She has good manners, I'm rough all around

But you [bad word] from something, you [bad word] from nothing
You could be a princess, you could 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 restaurants in Beverly Hills and 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 [bad word] well I barely finished school.
She knows a lot about yearly salaries and [bad word] funds and dividends
She knows that I don't really care at all
But we got together and it's working ok

You [bad word] from something, you [bad word] from nothing
You could be a princess, you could 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.

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.
