Lyrics: Joan Armatrading. Joan Armatrading. People.

People to the left of me, people to the right
I wanna be alone
But it just gets worse all the time
Can't make it work

People all around me in love and pain
Some are integrated, drivin' me insane
They're gonna drive me right out of my head

Scheming, there's people cheatin'
Pressure from all sides
Chain you, they'll try to change you
There's no escaping people

People, people

People

Standing right in front of me, movin' up behind
Ringin' on my phone
I got no place to hide
Nowhere to go

People all around me singing out of tune
Draw me, [Incomprehensible]
Oh, leave me alone
I gotta find somewhere else I can go

Once I wanted loving, somebody of my own
That's all changed
Love somebody of my own
That's all changed

People all around me, in love and pain
Some are integrated, drivin' me insane
They're gonna drive me right out of my head

People, people, people
People, people, people
