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 throwin' pans

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

Ooh, everybody's cryin' but they can't stop hopin'

Everybody's lookin' for the door that's open

Mama's making heat to keep the old fire smokin'

Papa's hangin' 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

(Ooh, baby, love ain't what it used to be)

(You tellin' me? Not since you've been hanging around here)

Mama, what you screamin' for, actin' like a demon for?

And hey mama, quit wavin' them hands in the air

(What? Don't talk to me that way)

(Well, I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me, baby)

You puttin' fat in the fire, you got meat for brains

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

(Ooh, that's a shame)

(Yeah, well)

Well, mama's hangin' on to every word that's spoken

But papa's hangin' on to his old love token

(It's what it is)

(Here goes, babe!)

Oh, I don't wanna leave you, mama

Yeah, I don't wanna leave you, papa

Long-haired women gonna turn you to stone

You can't beat 'em, 'cause you need 'em

You gotta live, you gotta love

Your love token's gotta fit like a glove

Hey!

Listen to the story about the dream that's broken

You gotta keep a hold of your old love token

Oh, I don't wanna leave you, mama

(Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama)

Oh, I don't wanna leave you, papa

(Papa, papa, papa, papa, papa)

Oh, I don't wanna leave, oh, I don't wanna leave

Oh, I don't wanna leave, oh, I don't wanna leave you alone

But I'm gonna have to, babe

Yeah, yeah!
