Lyrics:

[Intro]

Verse I

Hold the paper up to the light
(some rays pass right through)
Expose yourself out there for a minute
(some rays pass right through)

Verse II

Take a little rest when the rays pass through
Take a little time off when the rays pass through
Go ahead and mix it up...Go ahead and tie it up
In a long distance telephone call

Verse III

Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on because it's been taken care of
Hold on to that paper

Intro

See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper
See if you can fit it on the paper
See if you can get it on the paper

Verse I

Had a love affair but it was only paper
(some rays they pass right through)
Had a lot of fun, could have been a lot better
(some rays they pass right through)

Verse II

Take a little consideration, take every combination
Take a few weeks off, make it tighter, tighter
But it was never, it was never written down
Still might be a chance that it might work out (if you)

Verse III

Hold on to that paper
Hold on to that paper
Hold on because it'll be taken care of
Hold on to that paper

Intro

Don't think I can fit it on the paper
Don't think I can get it on the paper
Go ahead and rip up, rip up the paper
Go ahead and tear up, tear up the paper
