She is a diamond, I am a stone
I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome
Her daddy's 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
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 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

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
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 
(All want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else
(All want something else)
We all want something strange to us
We all want something else 
(All want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else 
(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
