[David Bowie] Love, love, love, love, love Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking [Verse 3: Freddie Mercury] Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love? [Outro: David Bowie] Because love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the (people on streets) edge of the night And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure Pressure
