Kids Lyrics by MIKA

The Origin of Love (Deluxe)

2012

[Verse 1]
The kids are playing in the sun
They think their life has just begun
For them it’s just another day
Playing games only kids would play
There won’t be a me and you
If we keep on fighting like we do
Baby, don’t you walk away
Saying things only kids would say

[Pre-Chorus]
Kids, what do they know about nothing at all?
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call
Just another California day

[Chorus]
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for

[Verse 2]
You shout with nothing to say
And fight 'til you get your way
It hurts, but, what can I do?
I won’t turn into a kid too

[Pre-Chorus]
Kids, what do they know about nothing at all?
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call

[Chorus]
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for

[Bridge]
You’re playing in the setting sun
You think your life has just begun
You’re throwing all my love away
Just another California day


Kids, what do they know about nothing at all?
Just another California day
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call
Just another California day

[Chorus]
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love, not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
