Lyrics:

This song's about love.

Yeah.

Lives are like retractable pencils

If you push 'em too far, they're gonna break

And people are like paper dolls (mmm–mmm)
Mmm, oh yeah

Paper dolls and people
They're the very same shape
Mmm, ye-a-ah
{Jemaine and Bret]
Love is like a roll of sellotape

Oo-ooh

Real good for makin' two things one

But just like that roll of sellotape
Love sometimes breaks off before you're done

Another way that love is similar to sellotape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes, it's hard to see the end

Ain't that the truth, my friend?

You (search) search 'round the roll (search 'round the roll)
(Yeah, you search 'round the roll) Search 'round the roll (the roll)

With your fingernail
Again and again
And again and again
And again

Doo-doo doo doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo!

Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with sellotape, uh-huh
Ohh-ohh, yeaaahhh, oh
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with sellotape of love

Ooh-ooh

That sticky stuff

(Ohhh!) Come on, come on, baby, now!

People, people, paper, paper, paper, paper, people, people
People, people, pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil, paper, paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sellotape, oh, baby, baby (ooh baby!)
Yeah!

Oh!

[Jemaine (and Bret)}
Ooh ooh (woah-oh) ooh ooh-ooh (oh-woah), oh, (oh!) come on! (woah-oh) come on! (come on!) come on! (yeah!) come on! (whoo!) yeah! (oh-oh) yeah!


You know, Jemaine, recently, I've, uh, I've been—I've been thinking about love, about mutual love, that sort of love where two... y'know, two people, they love each other equally, like the love you have with, you know, with a loved one, and it's an equal love, and you give love equally, and it's—it's a, it's a feeling that's... it's amazing, it's a sorta... it's probably—you know, it's a wonderful thing. It's love at its best. It's love, y'know, it's, it's, uh, it's, y'know, it's probably the strongest adhesive available.


(sighs)
Full on.
Bm-dsh!

Bwah! (Oh yeah!) Oooh! (Yeah!) What a feeling! (Whoo-hoo!) Can ya feel it? (Stick it together!) Oh, sticky! (Stick it together!) Yeah, stick it together! (Together, yeah!) Yeah, the really good! (Whoo!) Oh-oh...
{Jemaine and Bret]
Yeah....
