Lyrics

"Do it again! Do it again!"

We are the other people
We are the other people
You're the other people, too
Found a way to get to you...

Do you think that I'm crazy?
Out of my mind?
Do you think that I creep in the night
And sleep in a phone booth?

Lemme take a minute & tell you my plan
Lemme take a minute & tell who I am
If it doesn't show
Think you better know
I'm another person

Do you think that my pants are too tight
Do you think that I'm creepy?

Better look around before you say you don't care
Shut you're funking mouth about the length of my hair
How would you survive
If you were alive
Shitty little person

We are the other people
We are the other people
You're the other people, too
Found a way to get to you

We are the other people
We are the other people
You're the other people, too
Found a way to get to you

Do you think that I love you...
Stupid & blind?
Do you think that I dream through the night
Of holding you near me?


Lemme take a minute & tell you my plan
Lemme take a minute & tell who I am
If it doesn't show
Think you better know
I'm another person
