[Verse 1]
People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good
[Verse 2]
We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made our vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
[Verse 3]
The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
[Verse 4]
Seasons came, seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
[Verse 5]
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattlin' in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all
[Verse 6]
To our love, send a dozen white lilies
To our love, send a coffin of wood
To our love, let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 7]
To our love, send back all the letters
To our love, a valentine of blood
To our love, let all the jilted lovers cry
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 8]
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good
[Verse 2]
We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made our vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
[Verse 3]
The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
[Verse 4]
Seasons came, seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
[Verse 5]
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattlin' in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils
[Chorus]
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all
[Verse 6]
To our love, send a dozen white lilies
To our love, send a coffin of wood
To our love, let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 7]
To our love, send back all the letters
To our love, a valentine of blood
To our love, let all the jilted lovers cry
That people, they just ain't no good
[Verse 8]
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
