Congratulations

Oh, seems like youve done it again

And I aint had such misery

Since I dont know when

Oh, and I dont know when, oh, and I dont know when

I notice so many people

Slipping away

And many more waiting in the lines

In the courtrooms today

Oh, in the courtrooms today

Love is not a game

Love is not a toy

Loves no romance

Love will do you in

And love will wash you out

And needless to say

You wont stand a chance, you wont stand a chance

Im hungry for learning

Wont you answer me please

Can a man and a woman

Live together in peace,

Oh, live together in peace?
