Material Things
There was a time I'll admit
I got caught up in the race
Competing with the Jones
Trying to keep the pace
I put too much importance
I living like a king
They're just material things
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Well I surrounded myself
With such clutter and waste
Following the new trends
Showing my good taste
I let possessions control me
Like a puppet on a string
They're just material things
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Now if you are impressed
And measure success
By the make of the care that you're driving
Tell me who's fooling who
If that's important to you
It's only yourself you're depriving
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Material things
I got caught up in the race
Competing with the Jones
Trying to keep the pace
I put too much importance
I living like a king
They're just material things
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Well I surrounded myself
With such clutter and waste
Following the new trends
Showing my good taste
I let possessions control me
Like a puppet on a string
They're just material things
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Now if you are impressed
And measure success
By the make of the care that you're driving
Tell me who's fooling who
If that's important to you
It's only yourself you're depriving
Kisses never go out of style
And hugs they don't rust away
Nothing is worth more than a smile
Or the joy that it brings
The rest are just material things
Material things
