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
