Things People Say Songtext
von Lady A

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?

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 ′til your dying day?
You said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say?
Are they just things, baby?


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
'About me and you
It′s 3 a.m., and I can't sleep at all
I wonder where you are tonight, and do I ever cross your mind?

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 ′til your dying day?
You said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say

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? Ooh


Oh, no
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 ′til your dying day?
You said you′d never go away
Are they just things that people say?

Whoa
Are they just things, baby?
Oh
