"I'm People" lyrics

"I'm People"

I've been knocking at your gate; well, did you miss me?
I went to have my fortune read
She looked at me with something like pity
And I swear to you, this is what she said:

"I can tell by your lines you're in solitary flight
You may be the first true unknown
Oh but baby, pretty soon you're gonna need somebody
Nobody makes it alone"

Every person I've known bears a different load of suffering
Some can't quit it, and some don't even notice it
I guess I'm somewhere in-between "Ain't life sweet?"
And gambling the only thing I truly own

"I can tell by your lines you're in solitary flight
You may be the first true unknown
Oh but baby, pretty soon you're gonna need somebody
Nobody makes it alone"

I'm people (I'm people)
You're people (You're people)
Were people who need people
Oh, my brother, my sister
Give me cover

The way that you're broken really turns me on
Kintsugi was always my thing
I've been broke 1,000 times, maybe put back funny
Oh, baby, just one more dream

"I can tell by your lines you're in solitary flight
You may be the first true unknown
Oh but baby, pretty soon you're gonna need somebody
Nobody makes it alone"
