Things People Say Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There I was at the bus stop, begging you just to stay
Can we work this out?
Baby, we can work this out
A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast
As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
No, this ain't how it was supposed to be
If you're out chasing all your dreams
Tell me, where does that leave me?

[Chorus]
What about the plans that you left behind?
The little white house by the railway line
The one we picked out
We even put the payment down
What about the promise that you made
To stay with me till your dying day?
Said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say?
Are they just things, baby?

[Verse 2]
The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday
Asked if I was fine
We sat and talked a while, he tried to make me smile
But it's so hard to show my face round lately
In this small town
I guess they heard the news about me and you It's three a.m. and I can't sleep at all
I wonder where you are tonight
And do I ever cross your mind?

[Chorus]
What about the plans that you left behind?
The little white house by the railway line
The one we picked out
We even put the payment down
What about the promise that you made
To stay with me till your dying day?
Said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say?

[Verse 3]
Well, my momma won't stop crying
She wonders what went wrong
Could I have loved a little deeper?
Or did I hold on too strong? Ooh
Oh no

[Chorus]
What about the plans that you left behind?
The little white house by the railway line
The one we picked out
We even put the payment down
What about the promise that you made
To stay with me till your dying day?
Said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say
Whoa
Are they just things, baby?
Oh
