People, I don't understand them
Never can and never could
The more I get to know
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 or moving on
Just when you try to touch 'em
That's when you find they're gone
We pass through each other's lives
Then 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
Good 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
