Songtext People in the front row Melanie Safka

People in the front row

I was outta love,
and out of heart
I couldn't quite stop
something that I didn't start
Yeah yeah, the critics said no,
I didn't know how
it came, so I couldn't go,
oh oh how ....

I was read on the bill
of a second rate show
The audience asked me why but
I didn't know, oh oh
My predicament grew,
but now I got friends
And I think that
my friends are you,
yeah oh oh how ....

You know I looked around
at the faces I'd know
I fell in love with
the people in the front row
oh oh how ....
My predicament grew,
now I got friends
And I think that my friends
are you, yeah....
oh oh how ....

You can put me here
and I'm all yours,
Not for the money
and it's not for the applause,
no oh no no no
'cause after is nothing
it's doing the song
I don't have to hear a thing
to know I've been grooved on

These chords that I'm using
are usually sad
I had to use them,
they're the best chords that I have,
ha ha ....
Oh yeah, this progression is usually sad
But it felt my sorrow and I wanted
it to feel me glad,
ha ha ....
