Lyrics

Don't have your picture taken With smoke coming from your fingertips (Way-oh, rhythm down) Don't let the public see you With a bottle of whiskey at your lips It might offend the people back at home And always be polite When you are talking on the telephone Ooh, I wanna be compromised Packaged and bottled and put on the shelves The perfect size Ooh, I wanna fit like a glove Giving them something that's easy to swallow How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) Appeal to every creed and color And everybody's walk of life (Way-oh, rhythm down) We think of something we despise And dig it in and twist the knife Be every little Mormon's ice cream cone And never tell the papers That you sometimes feel that you're alone Ooh, I wanna be compromised Packaged and bottled and put on the shelves The perfect size Ooh, I wanna fit like a glove Giving them something that's easy to swallow How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) Set the sextant to the sun Heading out to number one Ordinary honest folk With a sea shanty for the gravy boat Ooh, I wanna be compromised Packaged and bottled and put on the shelves The perfect size Ooh, I wanna fit like a glove Giving them something that's easy to swallow How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) How 'bout love? (How 'bout love?) How 'bout love?
