People in love
smile for no reason
laugh to themselves
jump up and down and clap their hands
when the phone rings
when they've got mail
oh people in love
be patient with them
People in lust
bite their lower lip
put their hands inside their lover's pockets
have no shame whatsoever
tangle tongues in public
with no regard for the comfort of society
oh people in lust
be patient with them
People in heartbreak
burst out in tears for no apparent reason
suddenly turn off the radio
jump up and run out of the room
start a sentence with "We used to..."
then trail off staring vacantly into middle distance
chew their fingernails
oh people in heartbreak
be patient with them
