Lyrics: Carolyn Dawn Johnson. Love & Negotiation. Love And Negotiation.


Jenny's got Jack tacked up on her freezer;
Jack's got Jenny in the back of his mind.
She'd do anything to see him:
He'll see her when he's got time, yeah, yeah.
He called her up, last, minute for dinner;
She put her friends on the burner in the back.
They tell her she don't know what she's in for.
She tells them they don't know Jack.
An' she'll make it up to them,
So she stands them up again.

Love and negotiation,
Makes the world go round.
At the bottom of a situation,
When you break it down,
It's all about love and negotiation.

Oh, I've kissed a few Jack's back in my day;
Turned a few princes into toads.
Well, I traded in all my lonely,
For a six-foot dead-end road, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I got my knight in rusty armour;
He still gets his night out with the guys.
An' I try hard not to be his mother,
He knows I could put up a pretty good fight,
To get my way, yeah:
Whoa, it's a give an' take.

Love and negotiation,
Makes the world go round.
At the bottom of a situation,
When you break it down,
It's all about love and negotiation.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

We plant your feet, we draw the line,
The line moves from time to time.
We always try to keep our minds open.

Love and negotiation,
Makes the world go round.
At the bottom of a situation,
When you break it down,
It's all about love and negotiation.

Yeah, love and negotiation, yeah.
Oh, when you break it down,
It's love and negotiation, yeah.
