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 lineI'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 playYou got to play on love, play on love
Play on love, play on loveNow 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 wordsYou got to play on loveI'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 playYou 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 behindIt'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 questionHe must've played on love, played on love
Played on love, played on loveI'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 playYou got to play on love, play on love
Play on love, play on loveYou 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 behindYou got to play on love, play on love
Play on love, play on love
