Oh well, in five years time we could be walking round a zoo With the sun shining down over me and you And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too And I'll put my hand over your eyes but you'll peek through And there'll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies And sun, sun, sun all down our necks And there'll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck 'Cause well be laughing at all your silly little jokes And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine 'Cause its what we needed to have a good time But it was fun, fun, fun when we were drinking It was fun, fun, fun when we were drunk And it was fun, fun, fun when we were laughing It was fun, fun, fun, oh, it was fun Oh well, I look at you and say it's the happiest that I've ever been And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean And she'd say, yeah well, I feel pretty a happy too And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you And it'll be love, love, love all through our bodies And love, love, love all through our minds And it'll be love, love, love all over her face And love, love, love all over mine And though admittedly all these moments are just in my head I'll be thinking bout them as I'm lying in bed And I know that admittedly it might not even come true But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you Oh, in five years time I might not know you In five years time we might not speak Oh, in five years time we might not get along In five years time you might just prove me wrong Oh, there'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love, love, love wherever you go There'll be love
