People You Know Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
So many wasted (Wasted)
Nights with (Nights with) you (You)
I still can taste it (Taste it)
I hate it, wish I could take it back 'cause

[Chorus]
We used to be close, but people can go
From people you know to people you don't
And what hurts the most is people can go
From people you know to people you don't
We used to be close, but people can go
From people you know to people you don't
And what hurts the most is people can go
From people you know to people you don't


[Post-Chorus]
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-da-dum
People you don't
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-da-dum
People you don't (Ooh)
From people you know to people you don't (Ooh)
From people you know to people you don't
[Chorus]
We used to be close, but people can go
From people you know to people you don't
And what hurts the most is people can go
From people you know to people you don't
We used to be close, but people can go
From people you know to people you don't
And what hurts the most is people can go
From people you know to people you don't

[Post-Chorus]
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum (Ooh)
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum
From people you know to people you don't
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum (Ooh)
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum
From people you know to people you don't
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum (Ooh)
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum
From people you know to people you don't
Dum-dum-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum (Ooh)
Da-da-dum-dum, da-da-dum
From people you know to people you don't

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
