Love is not a candle That you turn on like a light, no, no Picture that in your mind
Love is not a collar You can call wrong or right, no, no Picture that in your mind
You can give the things you don't have You can lose the things that you love Still your life is just painted pictures
You can play you're straight when you're not You can say you're cold when you're hot Still your life is just painted pictures
Play you're good when you're bad You can play you're good when you're bad Say you're glad when you're sad You can say you're glad when you're sad Still your life is just painted, yeah Still your life is just painted pictures
You can lose, yeah You can lose when you want to win You an die and be born again You can die and be born again Still, your life is painted Still your life is just painted pictures, ooh-oh
You can play the game, you're so strong Say you're right when you're wrong You can say you're right when you're wrong Still, your life is just painted Still your life is just painted pictures Oh-oh, oh yeah
You can laugh when you want to cry You can laugh, ha ha Say hello when you mean goodbye Say hello Still your life is just painted pictures, ooh-oh
