Lives are like retractable pencils & Love is like a roll of tape

Lives are like retractable pencils – If you push them too hard they’re gonna break
And people are like paper dolls – Paper dolls and people, they’re a similar shape
Hmm hmm hm

Love is like a roll of tape – It’s real good for making two things one
But just like that roll of tape – Love sometimes breaks off before you were done

Another way that love is similar to tape – That I’ve noticed
Is sometimes it’s hard to see the end

You search on the roll (search on the roll)
Search on the roll (searching round the roll)
Search on the roll (search)
With your fingernail
Again and again And again and again And again.

Brown paper, white paper – Stick it together with the tape – The tape of love – The sticky stuff
Brown paper, white paper – Stick it together with tape -The tape of love – The sticky stuff.

People people – Brown paper, white paper
Paper paper – Stick it together with tape
Paper paper – The tape of love
People people People people Pencil pencil Pencil pencil Paper paper
Put the pencil to the paper – Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sello tape -Oh baby baby – Yeah

You know, Jemaine, I’ve been thinking about love. And I guess it’s the very strongest adhesive.

Oh sorry, Bret. Were you talking to me? I was humming. What did you say?

Oh, just … nothing.
Brown paper, white paper – Stick it together with tape – The tape of love – The sticky stuff – Yeah

Ooh brown

Brown paper, white paper – Stick it together with tape – The tape of love
Say it – Sticky – Stick stick – Stick it together
Ye-yeah
