Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy.
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer,
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way that we're going,
We might live forever.

Babe, I read it in the news today.
How to live to be a ripe old age.
Funny thing is what they had to say
I something we've known all along.

Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy,
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer.
So lets stay together.
'Cause the way that we're going,
We might live forever.

I play your body like a fine guitar.
You light me up just like a shining star.
Let 'em guess how young or old we are.
And we'll just love our lives away.

Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy,
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way that we're going,
We might live forever.

Lovers live longer
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way that we're going,
We might live forever.
