{section: Verse}
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.
And 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 love, that I’ve noticed
You search ’round the roll Search ’round the roll
you search ’round the roll you’re searching ’round the roll
you search with your fingernai-ai-al
Again and again and again and again... and agai-hain
{section: Chorus}
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
the tape of lo-hove... sticky stuff
[Middle Talk Bit]
{section: Chorus}
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
the tape of lo-hove... mm-hm-mm-hm-OOH-HOO-OH
Brown paper, white paper,
People people paper paper paper paper people people
Paper paper pencil pencil pencil pencil people people
{Humming with choir – continue chorus chords}
Give the paper to the people and the people read sellotape oh baby baby yea_____h
You know Jemaine, I’ve been talking about love, and I guess it’s the very strongest... adhesive
{Humming with choir}
Sorry Bret, were you talking to me? I was humming. What did you say?
Oh, it doesn’t matter.
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
the tape of lo-hove, sticky stuff
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
Brown paper, white paper, stickin’ together with the tape,
the tape of lo-hove, sticky stuff
Good luck
