Storybook love, made for one another,
Now she trats you just like a brother
Now you don't know what you've done
Or even how to make it right

People change, that's the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it
Or get bit
People change

Save your tears, you're gonna need 'em
Because for certain, you're gonna be hurting
If you don't get hip, to a simple fact of life

People change, that's the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it
Or get bit
People change

Now you say, those times you had,
Were never that many

Just be thankful you had any
And cut yourself a slice of reality

People change, that's the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it
Or get bit
People change

That's the natural thing to do
They always have and so will you

Storybook love, made for one another,
Now she trats you just like a brother
Now you don't know what you've done
Or even how to make it right

People change, that's the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it
Or get bit
People change
