People Say

The Dixie Cups, in "People Say," describe the feeling that love will last forever, and that other people's opinions are easy to disregard.

People say it's just a summer romance
People say our love won't last for long
They're so sure we will part
But I know deep in my part
That they are wrong
     (backup singers: I don't care what the people say)

People say it's just the way the stars shine
And it really isn't love at all
But each time that we kiss
I just know we'll be like this
Summer, winter and fall...
     (backup singers: I don't care what the people say)

In the fade out, the background parts is:
"I don't care what the people say
I don't really care 'bout the people.
I don't care what the people say
I don't really care 'bout the people...."
