when love takes a back seat to life   when a man runs away from his wife   that's when you know   he's in the world      when a guy tries to round up his mate   but she's gone and it's gettin' too late   that's when you know   he lost his girl      so it happens   all the time   don't get low   just stand in line   take your turn   now make your move   and crush that dove   with a ton o' luv      when woman takes a back seat to man   she has to tell him where to go if she can   and she decides   to wear his ring      so it happens   all the time   don't get low   just stand in line   take your turn   now make your move   and crush that dove   with a ton o' luv      time's a girl with the face of a clock   her hands move forward 'til you can't stop   she comes from above   with a ton o' luv   with a ton o' luv   with a ton o' luv
