"Just Regular People" lyrics

"Just Regular People"

My parents are regular people
They sit outside, look at the sky
Eat food, take baths
Hello and goodbye

But my sweetheart she's the special one
I take her to the park
We go to the museum
Though you say those people are watching me kiss her
I don't even see 'em

My friends are just regular people
They drink beer and smoke cigarettes
Go to work, spend the money it gets

But my sweetheart she's the special one
She sends me a letter
I send her a letter back
Though it's been a long time
Several days she's been gone
I don't even keep track

My other girlfriend's just regular
She has fun, goes to the beach
She wears a smile whoever she meets

But my sweetheart she's the special one
I like you pretty much
She always says she does too
We'd know your voice anywhere if we did not even know it was you

I'm also just regular person
I give money to the drunk bum
Sometimes I don't
Even if I got some

But my sweetheart she's the special one
I take her to the park
We go to the museum
Though you say those people are watching me kiss her
I don't even see 'em
