People May Come

(album: Gabrielle - 1996)

Reaching out don't know what you'll find
Always reaching out hoping you'll find
'Cos when it comes you'll hold it tight but wonder will it ever survive
How long will it take for love to stand by you

'Cos everybody needs someone to love
And everybody needs someone they can trust and know

'Cos people may come and people may go away
They can cause you disappointment and pain
They come as your friend though some in the end
They can leave you disappointed you're in doubt

You've been down that road
Met many people who have left you cold
They pretend they're on your side but soon draw their knives
Gotta learn to figure out just who's right and wrong for you

'Cos everybody needs someone to love
And everybody needs someone they can trust and know

'Cos people may come and people will go away
They can cause you disappointment and pain
They come as your friend though some in the end
They can leave you disappointed you're in doubt

Gotta learn to read the signs, gotta know who's wrong from right
Gotta know who's your friend and will be there to the end for you
Gotta learn to live your life, gotta learn to walk with pride
Gotta keep that in your mind, gotta know deep down inside who's true

'Cos everybody needs someone to love
And everybody needs someone they can trust and know

'Cos people may come and people may go away
They can cause you disappointment and pain
They come as your friend though some in the end
They can leave you disappointed you're in doubt

Gotta learn who's your friend and will be there till the end for you
Gotta to know your life and gotta know deep inside who's true
Gotta learn who's your friend and will be there till the end for you
Gotta to know your life and gotta know deep down who's true

'Cos people may come and people will go away
They can cause you disappointment and pain
They come as your friend though some in the end
They can leave you disappointed you're in doubt

'Cos people may come and people will go away
