Love Is a Good Thing Songtext

von Sheryl Crow

1.
Watch out sister, watch out brother, watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Walmart discount stores.
Welcome to the hallway, metal detectors just been installed,
Hey, isn't cops and robbers gettin' to be a big bore?
Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now, it's much too scary,
And you might see something you wish you hadn't seen.
Out of sight, out of time, out of patience and I'm out of my mind -
Governor, tell me what does it mean?

Dance children, dance to the beat,
Wanna be a hippy cause life is so sweet - good morning hate.
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Wanna rock and roll up and down the street, I've got a message:

CHORUS:
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing.
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing.

Politicians on a mission, build them up, bring them down for the good of the system,
Well we don't like the way you live your life.
I got one thing I must express, we try our criminals in the press
Justice is a fading light.
Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now, it's umch too scary,
And you might see something you wish you hadn't seen.
Out of sight, out of time, out of patience and I'm out of my mind -
Governor, tell me what does it mean?

Dance children, dance to the beat,
Wanna be a hippy cause life is so sweet - good morning hate.
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Wanna rock and roll up and down the street, I've got a message, oh yeah:

CHORUS:
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing.
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing.
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good thing.
Love is a good thing. Love is a good, love is a good, love is a good, ...

OUTRO:
Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love.
Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love.
Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love. Love, love, love.
