When people put you down
It’s 'cause they’re jealous of you
They shouldn’t make you frown
You know as well as I do
It’s 'cause I love you for the things you do for me One day they’ll realize and wish that they were me One thing I know for sure
We both get satisfaction
That’s why they’re mad at us
'Cause they ain’t got what we got
It’s 'cause I’m happy for the things you do for me One day they’ll realize and wish that they were me Don’t even think about changing
You got a life of your own
Don’t even think about changing
You got a life of your own
Why don’t they understand
Our feelings are sincere?
One day they’ll be surprised
Because we are so near
To all the things they tried to be when they were young
That’s why they don’t agree and take it out on us It’s 'cause I’m happy for the things you do for me One day they’ll realize and wish that they were me It’s 'cause I’m happy for the things you do for me
