Story book love, made for one another
Now she treats you just like a brother
And you don’t know what you’ve done
Or even how to make it right
People change
That’s the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
Save your tears, you're gonna need ’em
Because for certain, you're gonna be hurtin'
If you don’t get hip to a simple fact of life
People change
That’s the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
People change, people change
People change, people change
Now you say those times you had
Whenever never that many
Just be thankful you had any
And cut yourself a slice of reality
People change
That’s the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
People change
That’s the natural thing to do
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
They always have and so will you
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
People change
That’s the long and short of it
Prepare yourself for it or get bit
People change
Prepare yourself !
