She is a diamond, I am a stone I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome Her dad is a lawyer, and mines not around She has good manners, I'm rough all around But you could come from something; you could come 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 else) We all want something we can't have We all want something else (We all want something else) We all want something strange to us Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe 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 along 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 we're doing ok But you could come from something; you could come 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 else) We all want something we can't have We all want something else (We all want something else) We all want something strange to us Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe 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 else) We all want something we can't have We all want something else (We all want something else) We all want something strange to us We all want something else (We all want something else) We all want something we can't have We all want something else (We all want something else) We all want something strange to us Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe a seat in first class: We all want something we can't have.
