People Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know people that try, people that don't
People that fly through the air, just float like smoke
I know people that joke, know people that's rich, know people that's broke
Know people that love, people that hate
Some tell you that you good, some say you doin' great
Hey, I know people can't wait
They wanna hear every single thing I gotta say
Some people act cool, some act phony
People are your friends, but they never be your homies
I know people think they know me
Like there's a lame, untalented old me
Girls wanna own me, labels wanna clone me
Haters wanna choke me, stoners wanna smoke weed
People never gonna change
'Cause no two people are the same, hey

[Chorus]
We, we are just two people
What more can we do?
Give me one more day
I'ma spend it with you, with you

[Verse 2]
I can't complain that people know my name
And when I come back home, not a damn thing change
I bet people can't believe
Some after the money
Some want a degree
If you showin' love, then you cool with me
I'm the same old dude before the jewelry
And everything kinda new to me
Things ain't nothin' like they used to be
People thought I wouldn't
Some people probably thought I could
Some people think the boy turned to Hollywood
Livin' up, every day worthwhile
Dudes run away when they see the girl smile
I'm glad I get to call her mine
This the type of thing so hard to find
You can't tell a star to shine or a carpet fly
Shit's gonna happen, it's just all in time
[Chorus]
We, we are just two people
What more can we do?
Give me one more day
I'ma spend it with you, with you

[Bridge]
I'm dealin' with somebody, and I don’t know what to do
They may not understand you 'cause they see you on the move
Girl, this dinner's over, I'm tryna get you to my room
'Cause I've been goin' crazy, baby, you don't got a clue

[Chorus]
We, we are just two people
What more can we do?
Give me one more day
I'ma spend it with you, with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
