Songs - B.J. Thomas

People I don’t understand them

Never can and never could

The more I get to know them

The less I think I should

They don’t mean the things they say

Or say the things they mean

You got to try and find the message

Somewhere in between

But songs are such good things

They never change their tune

They fill up lonesome evenings

And empty afternoons

Songs make such easy friends

All you do is sing along

And you can’t stay a stranger to a song

Everyone seems to be moving

Moving up or moving on

Just when you try to touch them

That when you find they’re gone

We pass through each others lives

Then fade into the past

You just don’t know who to believe in

No one seems to last

But songs are such good things

They never change their tune

They fill up lonesome evenings

And empty afternoons
