Pattern People
When you decide it's time for us
To part I always know
By the things that you don't say
And the things you don't show
They follow in succession
And to me it's no surprise
For when it's time you tell the truth
And when it's time you lie
And when it's time
You shoot that same old look across the room
And seem to take away the day
And soon you'll bring the gloom
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
And you say those same old words, girl
When it's time to say goodbye
And I'll always need some sympathy
And so you try to cry
And I'll always say it's over and
This time will be the end
And you vow that now you're sure you
Can let me be your friend
And we go our separate ways
And we always mark the street
So that when it's time to love
Again we can arrange to meet
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
And we write those same old letters
And we sing those same old songs
And when we're tired of crying
We go back where we belong
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
We're the pattern people
