Other People
Music and lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz
Background
    This was another song I wrote in the early stages of my relationship with Alan. He didn't want anyone to know we were dating because we worked for the same company, but I was feeling a bit insecure because I didn't see what the big deal was.

Dedication
    Alan.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Stand by my side when I feel lonely.
And when I need someone to hold me.
Look into my eyes and see me.
Don’t pretend that I don’t reveal me to you.
And don’t listen to what other people say.
And don’t listen if I ask you to go away. 
‘Cause I don’t mean it, and I never will.

Verse 2: Don’t pretend that you love me,
If you are just taking advantage of me.
Don’t pretend that you want to see me,
If you don’t then I don’t want to be me.
And I am not gonna listen to what other people say.
I will only listen if you ask me to go away.
And you might mean it, but I never will.

   Instrumental

Alternate verse: People should never listen to what other people say.
  Why don’t people just let their heart lead the way?
  ‘Cause my heart will admit it, though I never will.

Verse 3: Don’t lead me on and leave me.
Ask me what I think and believe me.
Don’t try to fool me into loving you.
Don’t presume to know that I already do.
And don’t play the game of what other people say.
They don’t matter it’s just you and me here today.
So you can play it, but I never will.
And you can say it, but I never will,
Until you say it, and then I will.
