Everybody's wonderin' how this world will get around

Now that we're all runnin' out of gas

But me, I'm kinda happy that this world is slowin' down

Seems to me we were movin' much too fast

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down

But that won't stop this world from goin' round

Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of

What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's thinkin' that this world will fall apart

If we ain't got no fuel to feed the flame

What if we all lost the love we used to fill our hearts

Seems to me life wouldn't be the same

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down

But that won't stop this world from goin' round

Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of

What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's wonderin' just how cold it's gonna get

And how they're gonna keep each other warm

The simplest solution to the problem I've seen yet

Is cuddle up with someone in your arms

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down

But that won't stop this world from goin' round

Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of

What if we were runnin' out of love?
