Around the clock loving 

(If you have a glove in) 

Is really quite a life to have

But it'd probably make mad



All the participants in it ...

For loving alone is thin picks

For we all need sustenance and rest

So that we can do our very best



And the idea it's all we need ...

Is the pangs of a heart that bleeds

But dealing with this idea voiced

Is, nevertheless, a rich choice ...
