On Paper Lyrics by The Three O’Clock

Vermillion

1988

[Verse 1]
So many questions have a reason
So many reasons for what we should do
But longer than the words you have to answer
A contract of love is nothing new to you
[Chorus]
Around you baby, I’m on fire
Everywhere that we go
Around you baby, I desire
All the things that we know
It only goes to show
That we don’t have to know
‘Til it’s on paper (‘til it’s on paper)
‘Til it’s on paper
[Verse 2]
Now is the time for a decision
Now is the time decide it’s one or two
But longer than the vow we’ll end up breaking
A contract of love is nothing new to you
[Chorus]
Around you baby, I’m on fire
Everywhere that we go (everywhere that we go)
Around you baby, I desire
All the things that we know (all the thing that we know)
It only goes to show
That we don’t have to know
‘Til it’s on paper (‘til it’s on paper)
‘Til it’s on paper
[Bridge]
So simplify by calling to your eyes right now
And tell me that our love is something new
‘Til it’s on paper
[Chorus]
Around you baby, I’m on fire
Everywhere that we go (everywhere that we go)
Around you baby, I desire
All the things that we know (all the things that we know)
It only goes to show
That we will never know know
‘Til it’s on paper
[Outro]
Around you baby, I’m on fire
Everywhere that we go (‘til it’s on paper)
Around you baby, I desire
All the things that we know (‘til it’s on paper)
Around you baby, I’m on fire
Everywhere that we go (‘til it’s on paper)
