Everybodys wonderin how this world will get around
Now that were all runnin out of gas
But me, Im kinda happy that this world is slowin down
Seems to me we were movin much too fast

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that wont stop this world from goin round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin out of love?

Now everybodys thinkin that this world will fall apart
If we aint got no fuel to feed the flame
What if we all lost the love we used to fill our hearts
Seems to me life wouldnt be the same

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that wont stop this world from goin round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin out of love?

Now everybodys wonderin just how cold its gonna get
And how theyre gonna keep each other warm
The simplest solution to the problem Ive seen yet
Is cuddle up with someone in your arms

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that wont stop this world from goin round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin out of love?
