Congratulations
Seems like you've done it again
Well, I ain't had such misery
Oh, since I don't know when
Whoa, oh, since I don't know when

I notice so many people slipping away
And many more waiting in lines in the court rooms today
Oh, in the court rooms today

Love is not a game, love is not a toy
Love's no romance
Love will do you in, love will wash you out
Needless to say, you won't stand a chance
You won't stand a chance

I'm hungry for learning
Won't you answer me, please
Can a man and woman live together in peace?
Oh, live together in peace?
Congratulations
