Things People Say Lyrics

Things People Say lyrics

There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stay

Can we work this out,
baby we can work this out

A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the
West Coast

As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe

No
this ain't how it was suppose to be

While you're out chasin' all your
dreams

Tell me where does that leave me



[Chorus]

What
about the plans that you left behind

The little white house by the
railway line

The one we picked out

We even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

To stay with me till your dying
day

Said you'd never go away

Are they just things that people
say



The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday

Asked if
I was fine

We sat and talked a while

He tried to make me smile

But it's so hard to show my face round lately

In this small town

I guess they heard the news

'Bout me and you

It's three a.m. and
I can't sleep at all

I wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross
your mind



[Repeat Chorus]



Well my momma won't stop
crying

She wonders what went wrong

Could I have loved a little
deeper

Or did I hold on too strong



[Repeat Chorus]
