Lyrics

Some people, they tease one another
Take pride in themselves
Keeping the other one down
Well, I’m not like that at all
Some people, they hurt one another
They love to see
Hurt in the other one’s eyes
Well, I’m not like that at all
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk
Holding the other one’s hand
They always understand
Some people cry, some people know why
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Some people, they use one another
So aimlessly
Not like lovers do
Well, I’m not like that at all
Some people, they long for each other
They love to talk
Holding the other one’s hand
They always understand
Some people cry, some people know why
With a word unspoken, with a voice unheard
When a thought is broken by a tender word
When a heart is moved, when a heart is thrown
The silence tells you you’re not alone
Some people are born for each other
They love to walk
Holding the other one’s hand
They always understand
Some people cry, some people know why, some people
They love to walk holding the other one
(Some people they long for each other)
They love to talk holding the other one
They love to walk holding the other one
Holding the other one
Holding each other
