People Keep Tellin' Me

(Album: Ship Ahoy - 1973)

People keep telling me (wrong)
How you do me wrong (I know the wrong)
(I've been loving you, and girl I know the wrong)

We have an understanding, that's really out of sight
You see me when you want to, but to me that's all right

And when I need a love, you can, (I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)
I when I need someone to understand, baby (I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)

So, I don't care what my friends may say
I'm gonna love ya come what may
I need you here to chase my blues away

People keep telling me (the wrone, the wrong)
How you do me wrong (Woman, it's you that I love and I know the wrong)
People keep telling me (I don't want nobody else)
It won't last too long
(I know the wrong)

Our love is so mellow (So mellow)
It flows like the rain

And when I need a love, you can
(I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)
I when I need someone to understand, honey
(I know you'll be there, I know you'd be there)

So, I don't care what my neighbors may say
I'm gonna love 'ya come what may
I need you here to chase my blues away way well

People keep telling me (the wrone, the wrong)
How you do me wrong (Woman, Woman, Woman, I know the wrong)
People keep telling me
It won't last too long (I don't believe, I don't believe, I say woman, and I know)

People keep telling me (even though you see me when you want to)
How you do me wrong (I can put up with it, baby)
People keep telling me (Even though you don't stay long)
It won't last too long (I can even there with you, baby)

They just don't understand how I feel, baby
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)
Naw, naw, naw, naw!
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)
Don't understand that our love's real
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)
[Eddie:] And everybody in town, everbody in town
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)
They know, they know
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)
Gotta tell ya' they know, they gotta know
(People keep telling me, People keep telling me)

Gotta know, that it's real, baby
(People keep telling me, peole keep telling me)
Real lovin'!
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
It's real with you, baby
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
[Walter:] You can't always stay long
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
They know that It's you baby
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
I got what you really need
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
They know that It's me, baby
(People keep telling me, people keep telling me)
