Somebody said
I was living in the life
Somebody told me
I was living in the life

Think that you might know
You find that you're really wrong
My pictures come and go
But my living has got to go on

And if you think it's easy
It's only cause you
Ain't me and I ain't you
Check out the difference
Between the two

Somebody said
It was easy in my life
Somebody told me
I had made it in my life

Try to understand
My determination win
You can't only stand
On the outside looking in

And if you think it's easy
It's only cause you
Ain't me and I ain't you
Check out the difference
Between the two

Somebody said
I was living in the life
Somebody told me
I was living in the life

Try to understand
My determination win
You can't only stand
On the outside looking in

Oh, you ain't me
And I ain't you
There's a hell of a difference
Between the two
