all we need

the world is falling all to pieces
and we're just taking it in stride
the price of gas too high for drivin'
i guess we'll have to stay inside
there's only crackers in the cupboard
and a little bit of cheese
but when it comes to how much lovin'
you and i have all we need

newspaper's drying in the kitchen
it sat 'till noon out in the rain
we tried to dry it in the oven
i guess the propane tank is drained
there's nothing on the television
there's never anything to see
but when it comes to how much lovin'
you and i have all we need

(bridge)
the world goes by and we just smile
and watch it fade away
we don't mind makin' up lost time all day
love is fine when it's yours and mine
that's the way it ought to be
we may not have what the neighbors have
but we have all we need

(repeat first verse...then end with)

but when it comes to how much lovin'
you and i have all we need
