Love Token

Mama's in love, Papa's in love

It's such a shame they don't love each other.

Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwing pans

The game's up - it's time to run for cover

Everybody's crying but they can't stop hoping

Everybody's looking for the door that's open

Mama's making heat to keep the old fire smoking

Papa's hanging on to his old love token

You got love but you ain't got style

You want your freedom but in a while

You're lost children but you know for sure

You gotta find out who your love is for

Oh baby life ain't what it used to be

You're tellin' me - not since you've been hanging round here

Mama what you screaming for acting like a demon for

And hey mama quit waving them hands in the air

Don't talk to me that way

Well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me

You put fat in the fire you got shit for brains

Well you don't give me comfort and a man's gotta get it somewhere

Ooh that's a shame

Yeah, well...

Mama's hanging on to every word that's spoken

But Papa's hanging on to his old love token

That's what it is

Here it comes babe

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama

Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

Long haired women gonna turn you to stone

You can't beat 'em - cos you need 'em

You gotta live - you gotta love

You're love token's gotta fit like a glove

Listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken

You gotta keep a hold of your old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama

Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

No I don't wanna leave you alone

But I'm gonna have to babe
