Using things and loving people
That's the way it's got to be
Using things and loving people
Look around and you can see

That loving things and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and loving people
That's the way it's got to be

Being loved is in the giving
All we have is what we share
Loving life is for the living
You have to have a heart to care

And loving things and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and loving people
That's the way it's got to be

So put your hand inside my hand
I don't know where the road will lead
We may not find the things we want
But we will find the things we need
And all we need is love
Using things and loving people
Brings you happiness I've found
Using things and loving people
Not the other way around

'Cause loving things and using people
Only leads to misery
Using things and loving people
That's the way it's got to be

For you and me
For you and me
