Mmm, mmm, mmm
La, la, la, la la

Don't love me quietly
Do it with intensity
(Or you'll miss the point, ooh)
Do it with every sin you strain
Or there's no love to be gained

Cause we are nearly civilized
And I could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

I don't know how you found me
But you wrapped yourself around me
I thought it was warm
And soon enough I found me too
Immersed in mediocrity

Cause we are nearly civilized
And I could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

We are nearly civilized
We are nearly civilized
Oh, oh-oh, uh huh yeah
Oooooh, oh, uh huh yeah

Cause we are nearly civilized
And I could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

Cause we are nearly civilized
And I could almost love you now
We will throw this building up
Just so we can tear it down again

We are nearly civilized
