If Love Was a Plane

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's ninety-eight pounds, workin' down at the Dairy Queen With an Ogilvie home perm and braces And he's long-haired, no job, and just nineteen They got a baby on the way and they're off to the races [Chorus] In love, look at 'em go Now what in the world could go wrong? Don't tell them the odds, it's best they don't know If love was a plane, nobody'd get on [Verse 2] At the Ivy at lunchtime in Beverly Hills The paparazzi are gathered outside 'Cause an actor and an actress are havin' lunch And according to Extra and Entertainment Tonight [Chorus] They're in love, look at 'em go Now what in the world could go wrong? Don't tell them the odds, it's best they don't know If love was a plane, nobody'd get on [Bridge] Imagine now the pilot's voice On the intercom right before we leave the ground Sayin', "Folks, thanks for flyin' with us But there's a six-in-ten chance we're goin' down" [Verse 3] But that's the strangest thing about this emotion Even knowin' our chances are small We line up at the gate with our tickets Thinkin' somehow we're different, I mean, after all [Chorus] We're in love, look at us go Now, what in the world could go wrong? To hell with the odds, we'd rather not know If love was a plane, nobody'd get on Yeah, if love was a plane, nobody'd get on
