Joan Armatrading - People lyrics

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, in pain

Some are integrated

Driving me insane

They're gonna drive me right out of my head

Scheming

There's people cheating

Pressure from all sides

Chain you

They'll try to change you

There's no escaping

People

People

People

Standing right in front of me

Moving up behind

Ringing on my phone

I got no place to hide

Nowhere to go

People all around me

Singing out of tune

Draw me, don't trace you

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, in pain

Some are integrated

Driving me insane

They're gonna drive me right out of my head

People

People

People
