[Verse: Bret, Jemaine, Both]
Lives are like retractable pencils
If you push them too hard, they're gonna break
And people are like paper dolls
Paper dolls and people, they're a similar shape
Love is like a roll of tape
It's real good for making two things one
But just like that roll of tape
Love sometimes breaks off before you are done
Another way that love is similar to tape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes, it's hard to see the end
You search 'round the roll (Search 'round the roll)
You search 'round the roll (Searching 'round the roll)
You search 'round the roll (Search)
With your fingernail
Again and again and again and again
And again

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love (The sticky stuff)
Whoa-oh
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love (The sticky stuff)
[Spoken]
You know, recently, I've been thinking about love. About mutual love, where two... things love each other mutually. And, um... I guess I've realized that of all the things we're given, that love... is the very strongest adhesive. Yeah. Jemaine?
Oh, sorry? Sorry, what- what were you saying?
Oh, I was- I just- I don't wanna say it again

[Chorus]
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love (The sticky stuff)

[Bridge]
Ooh!
People, people, paper, paper
Paper, paper, people, people
People, people, pencil, pencil
Pencil, pencil, paper, paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sellotape
Oh baby, baby, yeah!

[Chorus]
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love
[Outro]
Stick! Sticky, sticky!
Stick, stick! Stick it together!
Yeah, yeah!
