Whatever People Say You Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never courted suffering,
never valued paid,
I'm not cruel, or a fool
just not used to it!
And now our fingers stay where
once they hurried past.
We've the time and the place,
let's get used to it.
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
We never would admit,
no, not to a man,
if you can't
get what you want, get what you can.
But you always made me feel
like I've just recieved
and invite
to last week's Halloween.
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
If I'm wrong I will take it all back,
if you ask.
It's the price of good fortune I ask-
if I can, if I can.
(solo)
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
Oh, and never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?, stay happy?
