Years do it, tears do it
Even the unemployed do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
On twitter, the fiercest couples do it
Facebook lets and MySpaceits do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
The angry angry Egyptians do it
Not to mention the Libyans
Folks all over the world do it – it’s all for the best
Coy politicians at their wits ‘end do it
People at Occupy Wall Street do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
Taxes and crisis, they say, do it
Riots and tear gasses – or pepper spray - do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
Destitute people, grasping at straws, do it
Even comfy liberals, do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
My neighbours I fear, do it
Those walls are too thin you know?
Why the whole street know even about it! – no point trying to hide it now
In all countries, the masses do it
Even greedy praying mantises do it
Let's do it, let's fall out of love
