Pipes of peace

I light a candle to our love, 

In love our problems disappear. 

But all in all we soon discover 

That one and one is all we long to hear. 



All 'round the world, 

Little children being born to the world. 

Got to give them all we can 'til the war is won, 

Then will the work be done. 



Help them to learn (help them to learn) 

Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn. 

Let us show them how to play 

The pipes of peace, 

Play the pipes of peace. 



Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, 

Ooh-ooh-ooh. 



Help me to learn 

Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn, 

Won't you show me to play (how to play) 

The pipes of peace, (pipes of peace) 

Play the pipes of peace 



Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. 



What do you say? (what do you say?) 

Will the human race be run in a day? (in a day?) 

Or will someone save this planet we're playing on? 

Is it the only one? 



What are we gonna do? 



Help them to see (help them to see) 

That the people here are like you and me. (like you and me) 

Let us show them how to play (how to play) 

The pipes of peace, (pipes of peace) 

Play the pipes of peace. 



Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. 



I light a candle to our love, 

In love our problems disappear. 

But all in all we soon discover 

That one and one is all we long to hear.

Say, say, say what you want 

But don't play games with my affection. 

Take, take, take what you need 

But don't leave me with no direction. 



All alone, I sit home by the phone, 

Waiting for you, baby (baby) 

Through the years how can you stand to hear 

My pleading for you, dear? 

You know I'm crying. 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, yeh, yeh. 



Now, go, go, go where you want,, 

But don't leave me here forever. 

You, you, you stay away, 

So long, dear, I see you never. 



What can I do, girl, to get through to you? 

'Cause I love you, baby (baby) 

Standing here, baptised in all my tears, 

Baby, through the years, 

You know I'm crying. 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. 



Ee-ee-ee. 



You got to say, say, say, 

Got to say, say, say. 



You never ever worry, 

And you never shed a tear. 

You're saying that my love ain't real, 

Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying. 



You, you, you can never say, 

That I'm not the one who really loves you. 

I pray, pray, pray every day 

That you'll see things, girl, like I do. 



What can I do, girl, to get through to you? 

'Cause I love you, (love you) baby (baby) 

Standing here, baptised in all my tears, 

Baby, through the years. 

You know I'm crying, 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. 



Ee-ee-ee. 



Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, 

You got to say, say, say. 



Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.

I know I was a crazy fool, 

For treating you the way I did. 

But something got a hold of me 

And I acted like a dustbin lid. 



I didn't give second thought 

To what the consequence might be. 

I really wouldn't be surprised 

If you were tryin' to find another me. 



'Cause the other me would rather be the glad one, 

The other me would rather play the fool. 

I wanna be the kind of me 

That doesn't let you down as a rule. 



I know it doesn't take a lot 

To have a little self-control, 

But every time that I forgot, 

Well, I landed in another hole. 



But ev'rytime you pull me out, 

I find it harder not to see, 

That we can build a better life 

If I can try to find the other me, mm-mm. 



The other me would rather be the glad one, 

Yeh, the other me would rather play the fool. 

Said, I wanna be the kind of me 

That doesn't let you down as a rule. 



But if I ever hurt you, 

Well, you know that it's not real. 

It's not easy living by yourself, 

So imagine how I feel. 



I wish that I could take it back, 

I'd like to make a diff'rent mode. 

And if you let me try again, 

I'll have a better attitude. 



Well, I know that one and one make two, 

And that's what I want us to be. 

I really would appreciate it, 

If you'd help me find the other me. 



Uh-uh, yeah, yeah. 



Well, the other me would rather be the glad one, 

The other me rather play the fool. 

But I wanna be the kind of me 

That doesn't let you down as a rule. 



Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. 



Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, 

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, 

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, 

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, 



The other me would rather be the glad one, 

And the other me would rather play the fool. 

And I wanna be the kind of me 

Who doesn't let you down as a rule.

Love, I'm gonna pick you up in the morning, 

Love, I'm gonna take you out on a journey. 

I don't know where I'm going to, 

But I know what I've been going through, 

Without you by my side. 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. 



What good is butter if you haven't got bread? 

What good is art when it hurts your head? 

Might as well be in bed. 



Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased, 

Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released. 



What good's a puzzle when you haven't a clue? 

What good is me when I'm not with you? 

Might as well stay in bed. 



Keep under cover 'til the clouds disappear, 

Keep out of trouble 'til the weather is bright and clear. 



Love, I'm gonna pick you up, 

I'm gonna take you out. 

I don't know what I'm gonna do 

But I know what I've been going through, 

Without you by my side, 

Without you by my side, 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. 



What good is tennis when there isn't a ball? 

What good's a curtain without a call? 

Might as well be in bed. 



Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased, 

Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released. 



Love, I'm gonna pick you up, (i'm gonna pick you up) 

I'm gonna take you out. (yes, I'll be taking you out) 

I don't know what I'm gonna do 

But I know what I've been going through, 

Without you by my side, (without you by my side) 

Without you by my side. 



Keep under cover, 

Keep under cover, yeah, 

Keep under cover, oo, 

Keep under cover, wow, wow, wow, wow. 

Keep under cover...

There is a pain, inside my heart, 

You mean so much to me, 

Girl, I love you, 

Girl, I love you so bad. 



And if you leave, my pain will go, 

But that's no good to me. 

Girl, I love you, 

Yes, I love you so bad. 



Well, it feels so good, 

Sometimes it feels so bad, 

This is worse than anything I've ever had. 



There was a pain, but now you're here, 

And I don't fear a thing.

And I don't fear a thing. (I love) 

Girl, I love you, (I love) 

Girl, I love you so bad. (I love, I love) 

And she said: (I love) 

"boy, I love you, (I love)
