Lyrics

Oh People it's wrong
You know it aint right
Oh People it's wrong
To argue scold and fight

1
He said tomorrow will be fine
She said I don't care I'm outa my mind
He said the moon is shining above
She said I don't care I've had enough

Oh People it's wrong
You know it aint right
Oh People it's wrong
To argue scold and fight

Oh when night-time come
And the moon is bright
It's wrong for lovers to be cross
They got to make it right

2

He said look I got a new job
She said the old one was not enough?
He said I get money to buy you things
She said you'll go and forget about me

Oh People it's wrong
You know it aint right
Oh People it's wrong
To argue scold and fight

Oh when night-time come
And the moon is bright
It's wrong for lovers to be cross
They got to make it right

3
He said I promised I can't not go
She said I don't want to know
He said it's OK it will be a short time
She said your brother is gone five year

Oh People it's wrong
You know it aint right
Oh People it's wrong
To argue scold and fight

Oh when night-time come
And the moon is bright
It's wrong for lovers to be cross
They got to make it right

4

He said I love you I always will
She said until you find your new chill
He said it's not fair this is my big chance
She said all my dreams are dust

Oh People it's wrong
You know it aint right
Oh People it's wrong
To argue scold and fight

fade
To argue scold and fight
To argue scold and fight
To argue scold and fight
