Pleasing People

Put on a smile, clean up your face
Lace up your shoes and get in the race
You're sore and tired, but you're gonna run
God forbid you disappoint someone

Living life pleasing people
Like holding the door to crawl through the keyhole
Of all the things under the sun
Pleasing people is the hardest one
Pleasing people is the hardest one

I have no doubt, given the time
You're gonna make it to the finish line
Oh, the years that you will trade
For one red ribbon in a small parade

Living life pleasing people
Like holding the door to crawl through the keyhole
Of all the games that can't be won
Pleasing people is the hardest one
Pleasing people is the hardest one

Expectations, losing patience
Can't get back all the time we've wasted

Living life pleasing people
Holding the door to crawl through the keyhole
Of all the things that can't be done
Pleasing people is the hardest one

Living life pleasing people
Holding the door to squeeze through the keyhole
Of all the things under the sun
Pleasing people is the hardest one
Pleasing people is the hardest one
