Lyric Congratulations
Words & music by Paul Simon
Congratulations
Oh, seems like you ve done it again
And I ain t had such misery
Since I don t know when
Oh, and I don t know when, oh, and I don t know when
I notice so many people
Slipping away
And many more waiting in the lines
In the courtrooms today
Oh, in the courtrooms today
Love is not a game
Love is not a toy
Love s no romance
Love will do you in
And love will wash you out
And needless to say
You won t stand a chance, you won t stand a chance
I m hungry for learning
Won t you answer me please
Can a man and a woman
Live together in peace,
Oh, live together in peace?
