Lyrics

We travel single, oh
Maybe we're lucky, but I don't know
With them just let one kid fall down and seven mothers faint
I guess we're both happy, but maybe we ain't
People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children
Needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Mmm mmm, mmm mmm
La la la la la la
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
