Play On Love - Jefferson Starship

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.
