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's 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 You got to Play on love Play on love Play on love Play on love. Reading it without living it You got to Play on love Play on love Play on love Play on love. --- Play on Love - Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship
