Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only the people that love may dream
In the world of the silent scream
Only the people that love, mean gotta love mean
[Verse 2]
'Cause love means go on and do it
Love means go ahead and do it
Love means go on and say it
Love means go ahead and say it, everything
[Verse 3]
Only the people that love may cry
In the world of the eternal goodbye
Everyone else oughta just die, gotta love die, 'cause
[Verse 4]
Love dies, go on and do it
Love dies, go ahead and do it
Love dies, go on and say it
Love dies, go ahead and say it with your eyes
[Verse 5]
Go on and do it
(Go on and do it)
Go ahead and do it
Go on and say it
(Go on and say it)
Go ahead and say it
[Verse 6]
Don't be shy
[Verse 7]
Only the people that love
Only the people that love
Only the people that love
May fly
May fly
May fly
May fly
May fly
