Lyrics
THE PEOPLE I KNOW
Copyright 01/09/06 words and music by James Nelson
FORGIVE ME FOR THE THINGS I?VE SAID
IT?S OPEN SEASON ON MY HEAD
AND I CAN?T SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THIS HAZE
AND I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT?S JUST A PHASE
THE PEOPLE I KNOW - THE PEOPLE I KNOW
THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO REALLY KNOW ME
THEY SAY IT WILL BE OKAY
AND I WILL BE OKAY
EXCUSE ME FOR HOW I COME ACROSS
IT SEEMS IT?S JUST PAR FOR THIS COURSE
AND THE LIFE WE LIVE IS THE LIFE WE CHOOSE
AND I GUESS WE ALL MUST PAY OUR DUES
(CHORUS)
AND IF I COME A KNOCKIN? AT YOUR DOOR
AND IF FALL DOWN UPON YOUR FLOOR
WILL YOU LAUGH AT ME WHILE I?M ON THE GROUND
OR WILL YOU PICK ME UP WHEN I?M FEELING DOWN
(CHORUS) (VAMP and all that JAZZ)
