Love Token

Brian May

Mama's in love, Papa's in love 
It's such a shame they don't love each other. 
Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwing pans 
The game's up - it's time to run for cover 

Everybody's crying but they can't stop hoping 
Everybody's looking for the door that's open 
Mama's making heat to keep the old fire smoking 
Papa's hanging on to his old love token 

You got love but you ain't got style 
You want your freedom but in a while 
You're lost children but you know for sure 
You gotta find out who your love is for 

Oh baby life ain't what it used to be 
You're tellin' me - not since you've been hanging round here 

Mama what you screaming for acting like a demon for 
And hey mama quit waving them hands in the air 
Don't talk to me that way 
Well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me 
You put fat in the fire you got shit for brains 
Well you don't give me comfort and a man's gotta get it somewhere 
Ooh that's a shame 
Yeah, well... 
Mama's hanging on to every word that's spoken 
But Papa's hanging on to his old love token 

That's what it is 
Here it comes babe 

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama 
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa 

Long haired women gonna turn you to stone 
You can't beat 'em - cos you need 'em 
You gotta live - you gotta love 
You're love token's gotta fit like a glove 

Listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken 
You gotta keep a hold of your old love token 

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama 
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa 
No I don't wanna leave you alone 
But I'm gonna have to babe
