Using Things And Loving People - B.J. Thomas

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
