People In Love Loudon Wainwright III

I see people in love and I don't know why
They can't seem to fight it and they don't even try
Guess it's because it makes the world go around
Yeah we're spinning through space on shaky ground

I see people in love and I'm glad I'm not
It's just a disease and thank God I ain't got it
I see 'em holding hands, makes me wince
Yeah, she's just trying to turn that frog into a prince

Oh, movie stars smooching in an old movie
A kid turns away, says it's 'yucky'
That kid knows something that the grown-ups don't
When the kid grows up, after that the kid won't

People in love, I wanna laugh
Check out the statistics, take a look at the graph
On the park bench sits mister and miss
He's trying to make her his princess with his wake-up kiss

People in love, People in love, People in love

You'd think that you could make a person be what you want
But the chances aren't slim, the chances are gone
People ain't people, Streisand sang it
But the chances aren't slim the chances are fat
