Let's Not Talk About Anything Else But Love

Can't we talk about anything else but love?
Love that launched a thousand ships
Please! Let's talk about anything else but love
Love that causes war and famine
Can't we speak about real estate

Love of wife
Watergate
Love of children
Seasonal fluctuation in the prime interest rate

Love of chocolate, you must love chocolate
Everybody loves chocolate, say you do, say it
Can't we talk about anything else but
Love is elation, like an oration, love speaks to us in tongues
Natural as teething, simple as breathing air in the love-starved lungs
Love looks at us and sighs

That's all a pack of lies, love is a fiction like an affliction
Love is an ancient curse
Posing contentment causing resentment, fulfilment in reverse
Love is a dismal thing

Mal! Why should we fight, let's sing
And you know the only thing better than singing?
What?
Singing and dancing

Let's not talk about anything else but love
Worth repeating, let's not talk about anything else but love
Why?
Life is fleeting and pleasures come, pleasures go
Love can come and go in one throw
Let's not talk about anything else but love, but love, but love

Did I just hear the word love?
Aha
Let's not talk about anything else but love
Of all the scams I'd ever heard, love's the one that's most absurd

Let's not talk about anything else but love
And look what good is done, not for me, not my son
Be patient and soon the way will be clear
Focus your fare
And troubles all will disappear

Let's not talk about anything else but love
It's hard for me to show you see, my mother didn't know you see
Let's not talk about anything else but love, nothing better
Afraid of a touch, I don't like it so much
Hold on tight, say goodnight but don't dream of starting a fight
Let's not talk about anything else but love

Since the dawn of man began, everyone has had a plan, from
Anchorage to Afghanistan
Immortalized by Paul Cezanne
Just like an orangutan, with a short attention span
So we'll do the best we can by golly and bipartisan

Let's not talk about anything old
Please don't leave us out in the cold
Let's not talk about anything else but love
But love
But love
