It starts with love Young thing -- I don't know why You didn't read the letter our Lord supplied With that in mind, I revised this rhyme to explain to you guys All... I... know Love is... a powerful thing Watch the fly guys with the Benjamins sing Watch the countdown that the MTV plays I got ticked by the way It's so unreal -- Britney and Jennifer Lo Watch the wardrobe -- looks like a window Tryin' to hold on to itty bitty clothes You pasted them on -- this is not true love I guess everything's a hybrid breeding love and pride In small jealous hearts What it gets to be is essentially just a parody Like this rhyme is of Linkin Park
You tried so hard, but love's so far Corinthians -- it doesn't even matter If love's too small -- you lose it all Corinthians -- first letter, thirteenth chapter
Love waits -- it's also kind It doesn't envy, brag, or grow hard with pride Keeps things polite, doesn't like to fight It denies itself, while it tries no harm If I have the faith and philosophy Acting like I was smarter than Socrates And every language and tongue and prophecy I could die and not go far If at the stake they burned me or I could've given every dime to many poor If love's lackin' throw me back then Buddy, Paul wrote that to Corinthians.... It bears everything, besides, believes and hopes, abides That Paul fella's smart Love he said to me will essentially keep no memory Of you crimes 'cause it finds no fault
You tried so hard -- but love's so far Corinthians -- it doesn't even matter If love's too small -- you lose it all Corinthians -- First letter, Thirteenth chapter
It likes what's just and true Dislikes what's unrighteous though Failure is the only one thing it can't know The things that last are few Things like faith and love and hope From all these, there's only one thing you need most
