Play On Love Lyrics - 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 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
