Jefferson Starship - Play on Love

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
