Lyrics
Other people know other people
That other people don't know
You didn't want to hurt me
And I didn't want to go
I made a wish on half a moon
And half of it came true
You didn't fall inlove with me
Though I fell in love with you
I painted the perfect picture
You fit into the scenery -
The foreground, the background
And the inbetweenery
But how I wish that you were in it with me
Other people, other people
Other people will know
I thought you were in love with me
But it wasn't so
Other people, other people
Other people need other people
But all I need is you
