People In Love

I see people in love and I don't know why
They can't seem to fight it and they don't even try
Guess it's because it makes the world go around
Yeah we're spinning through space on shaky ground

I see people in love and I'm glad I'm not
It's just a disease and thank God I ain't got it
I see 'em holding hands, makes me wince
Yeah, she's just trying to turn that frog into a prince

Oh, movie stars smooching in an old movie
A kid turns away, says it's 'yucky'
That kid knows something that the grown-ups don't
When the kid grows up, after that the kid won't

People in love, I wanna laugh
Check out the statistics, take a look at the graph
On the park bench sits mister and miss
He's trying to make her his princess with his wake-up kiss

People in love, People in love, People in love

You'd think that you could make a person be what you want
But the chances aren't slim, the chances are gone
People ain't people, Streisand sang it
But the chances aren't slim the chances are fat

Hey, People in love I wanna yell
Right now your in Heaven, but you'll end up in Hell
You think that your safe and that you're home free
And that love lasts forever, that's the big fantasy

I see people in love and I feel sorry for them
There's petals on the rose, there's a thorn on the stem
Like famine and earthquake, love's part of the plan
Mother Nature's inhumanity towards man

People in love, People in love, People in love

So you pick up a check and you prepare a meal
Suddenly you're thinking that you're somebody's ideal
You know that you're different, but you know you can change
You wanna be normal, but people are strange

Hey, People in love and it makes me sick
I wanna run up and tell 'em it's a trap and a trick
I been through it and I know what they're gonna go through
Not so long ago, I went through it with you

People in love, People in love, People in love
