What People Say

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

VERSE 1
PEOPLE SAY I SHOULD BUILD WALLS AROUND MY FRAGILE HEART
TO KEEP OUT ANY FEELINGS THAT ARE DEEP AND DARK
WELL THEY SAY I SHOULD BE HAPPY
AND SHUT THE DOOR TO PAIN
BUT IF I EVER DID THAT
WELL I COULD NEVER LOVE AGAIN ... SO…

CHORUS
I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
‘CAUSE IT AIN’T MY BUSINESS ANYWAY
AND I THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
FOR MAKING ME JUST THIS WAY
OH I THANK THE LORD, THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
YES I THANK THE LORD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY

VERSE 2
PEOPLE SAY I STRESS TOO MUCH WHEN THINGS DON’T GO TO PLAN
BUT IF THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT’S ON MY MIND HOW CAN THEY UNDERSTAND?
WELL I TURN MOLEHILLS INTO MOUNTAINS
SAYS ONE EX-FRIEND OF MINE
BUT HIS OWN WORD WAS WORTHLESS
AND HIS LOVE, A WASTE OF TIME ... SO…

CHORUS
I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
‘CAUSE IT AIN’T MY BUSINESS ANYWAY
AND I THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
FOR MAKING ME JUST THIS WAY
OH I THANK THE LORD, THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
YES I THANK THE LORD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
PEOPLE SAY I SHOULD BEHAVE SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND
MY COMPLICATED NATURE AND MY PASSIONATE DEMANDS
WELL I’VE GOT STARS IN MY EYES AND BIG ROCKS IN MY HEAD
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT ‘CAUSE THEIR OWN DREAMS ARE DEAD

CHORUS
YES... I DON’T ARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
‘CAUSE IT AIN’T MY BUSINESS ANYWAY
AND I THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
FOR MAKING ME JUST THIS WAY
YES I THANK THE LORD, THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY
OH I THANK THE LORD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY

YES I THANK THE LORD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY
AND I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
