Butterfly Jones - When People Are Mean lyrics

When people are mean When people are bad It usually means That somewhere inside they are sad Well I should know 'Cause I used to be cruel That was a long time ago Baby before I met you You gave me your love And you showed me one more thing That it's usually just a sadness inside When people are mean When somebody hates A brother who is free They might be looking right at him But still never see Then progress gets thrown away Like some old magazine You see there's only so much madness to hide When people are mean Sometimes all I wanna do Is baby run away with you Forget about the world and fly away But that wouldn't be real And we can't live in dreams We've got to learn to face the truth No matter how hard it seems So I wanna thank you For showing me something I'd never seen That it's usually just a sadness inside When people are mean
