People, I don't understand them Never can, I never could The more I get to know them 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 That never change the taste It fills 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 or moving on Just when you try to touch them 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 That never change the taste It fills 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 But old rock and roll songs Make such easy friends All you do is sing along And you can't stay a stranger to a song *
