People, I don’t understand ’em
Never can, and never could
The more I get to know ’em
The less I think I should
They don’t mean the things they say
Or say the things they mean
You’ve got to try and find the message
Somewhere in between
But songs are such good things
They never change their tune
They fill up lonesome evenings
And empty afternoons
Songs make such easy friends
All you do is sing along
And you can’t stay a stranger to a song
Everyone seems to be moving
Moving up, moving on
Just when you try to touch ’em
That’s when you find they’re gone
We pass through each other’s lives
And fade into the past
You just don’t know who to believe in
No one seems to last
But songs are such good things
They never change their tune
They fill up lonesome evenings
And empty afternoons
Songs make such easy friends
All you do is sing along
And you can’t stay a stranger to a song
Old songs, new songs
Bright songs, blue songs
Sweet songs, soul songs
Do-the-rock-and-roll songs
Songs make such easy friends
All you do is sing along
And you can’t stay a stranger to a song
And songs are such good things
They never change their tune…
