You didn't seem to understand th-- And the most important thing for me to say is that-- Do you remember that time that seagull-- Yours sincerely, Brett. [Jermaine] Lives are like retractable pencils If you push them too hard theyre gonna break And people are like paper dolls Paper dolls and people, theyre a similar shape Hmm hmm hm hmm [Brett] Love is like a roll of tape Its real good for making two things one [Jermaine] But just like the roll of tape Love sometimes breaks off before you were done [Brett] Another way that love is similar to tape That Ive noticed Is sometimes its hard to see the end [Together] You search on the roll (search on the roll) Search on the roll (searching round the roll) Search on the roll (search) [Together] With your finger nail Again and again And again and again [Jermaine] And again... [Brett] Whoa, whoa [Together] Brown paper, white paper Stickin' together with the tape The tape of love The sticky stuff [Jermaine] Brett. [Brett] Hey man. What are you doing here?
