I heard this one in the car on the way home from voice class last night. I’ve heard it many times but never paid much attention to the words; for some reason this time it grabbed me, so I went and looked up the lyrics, which are posted after the jump for posterity.

“What Do All The People Know” by the Monroes

You know I told you once tonight

That you could always speak your mind

You work so hard to say what’s right

I watch you do it all the time

And when I called you on the phone

You said that I could be the one

But here I’m standing all alone

And you’re out lying in the sun

Tell me am I getting in too deep

Every night I’m talking in my sleep

Lately I am so confused

I really don’t know what to do

Could you be the one I’m thinking of?

Could you be the girl I really love?

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

You know I told you once tonight

That you could always speak your mind

You work so hard to say what’s right

I watch you do it all the time

And when I called you on the phone

You said that I could be the one

But here I’m standing all alone

And you’re out lying in the sun

Tell me am I getting in too deep

Every night I’m talking in my sleep

Maybe we’re just holding on

To something that’ll soon be gone

Could you be the one I’m thinking of?

Could you be the girl I really love?

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

Do you think I’m blind to what you do?

Do you think I really care for you?

Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play

Do you think we both should let it go?

Do you think we both should let it show?

Or is it just another game that you and I pretend to play

Tell me am I getting in too deep

Every night I’m talking in my sleep

Lately I am so confused

I really don’t know what to do

Could you be the one I’m thinking of?

Could you be the girl I really love?

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know

All the people tell me so

But what do all the people know
