I love it when people know my face
I love it even more when
they know my name
When I see them walking over
to shake my hand
Get a tingling feeling in my veins
I wish that it would last forever
But nothing ever does
It's nice to be important
But more important to be nice
It's lovely when they love you
But real love's so hard to find
It's nice to be important
But more important to be kind
And if you know that by now
Then you're not too far behind
Did you hear about the
The man with everything
Said he'd give it all back
for another start
Cause when you're shut down
there's no such thing
As most important man in the graveyard
He wishes he would last forever
But no one ever does
Oh, it's nice to be important
But more important to be nice
It's lovely when they love you
A real love so hard to find
It's nice to be important
But more important to be kind
And you should know that by now
Just like there's no such thing
as a bad meeting
In that little old town they call LA
But when you get home
and the phone ain't ringing
You start thinking about the
things that they didn't say
Nice to be important
But more important to be kind
If you know that by now
then you're not too far behind
It's to be important
But more im portant to be nice
It's lovely when they love you,
but real love's so hard to find
It's nice to be important,
but more important to be kind
If you know that by now,
then you're not too far behind
