People just ain't no good
I think that's welll understood
You can see it everywhere you look

People just ain't no good

We were married under cherry trees

Under blossom we made pour vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds


The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird

We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word


People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good


Seasons came, Seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare

A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
The winter slammed us like a fist

The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils


People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good

People they ain't no good at all

To our love send a dozen white lilies

To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let aal the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good

To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry

That people they just ain't no good

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad

They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bull%#@!

People just ain't no good

People they ain't no good

People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all
