Now when you open your mouth, what comes out?   What's the first word, what's the first line?   When you open your mouth and love comes out   Then you know you just sang the clear line      I've heard people say it a thousand times   In a thousand different ways   I've heard people play it a thousand times   And they know, they know that's the only way to play      You got to play on love, play on love   Play on love, play on love      Now are you talking about what it is you know   Or just repeating what it was you heard   Someone told you just exactly what to say   And you know, you know that's only one set of words      You got to play on love      I've heard people say it a thousand times   In a thousand different ways   I've heard people play it a thousand times   And they know that the only way to play      You been a reading it without living it   Now that's the golden prison we can always find   Living in stories and living in books   Or we can live and leave all the stories behind      It's up to you and it's up to me   Come down yelling timber through the burning trees   Who's been telling you about perfection?   And how did he get in here? That's the question      He must've played on love, played on love   Played on love, played on love      I've heard people say it a thousand times   In a thousand different ways   I've heard people play it a thousand times   And they know, they know that's the only way to play      You got to play on love, play on love   Play on love, play on love      You been a reading it without living it   Now that's the golden prison we can always find   Living in stories and living in books   Or we can live and leave all the stories behind      You got to play on love, play on love   Play on love, play on love
