people i belong to

oh my father

when he was a barber

he worked his body hard to make ends meet

oh my mother remains his lover

the things they did

the things they said

go 'round and 'round inside my head

for good

oh my brother

when he was a schoolboy

he gave up all his dreams to take on mine

oh my brother

now i have me one other

the things we've said

the things we've done

stay in my heart since i was young

i know this world won't change for me

the special things in life are free

i've always known and understood

there are people i belong to

for good

oh my lady

she was my baby

she'd get me through my days and through my nights

oh my lover

now i have me no other

the things we do

the things we say

i get more and more in love each day

i know this world won't change for me

the special things in life are free

i've always known and understood

there are people i belong to for good

oh my mother and my father

and my brother and my lover

oh my mother and my father

and my brother and my lover
