I'm so glad I found this
I"m so glad I did
I’m so glad I found this
I'm so glad I did

People are fragile things
You should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things
You should know by now
You'll speak when you’re spoken to

It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try

People are fragile things
You should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things
You should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to

With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still

With one hand you calm me
With one hand I’m still

People are fragile things
You should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things
You should know by now
You’ll speak when you're spoken to

You’ll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
He’ll speak when he's spoken to
She'll speak when she's spoken to

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
