And I know people who talk like you
I know people who talk like you
I've heard them speak
With voices so meek

And I know people who know you too
I know people who know you too
They send their regards
They asked about how you are

I wish I had a better answer
Oh cousin, dear, oh won't you please come near
There's always something here for you to eat at home
You can use the telephone before you go

I know people who have fun like you
I know people who have like you
You may remember them
No leaves grew off the stem

And someday someone's gonna take you on
Someday someone's gonna take you on
You seem unsure
You practice your demure

And how do things go so unnoticed
With so much good around this neighborhood
I wouldn't change a thing about you
If you were my kid, oh what I wouldn't give
And maybe this song could help you get along
Like nothing's wrong
