Well It's True That We Love One Another
White Stripes, The · Elephant
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's
just so much
That I don't know about you
Jack give me some money to pay my bills
All the dough I give you Holly you've been using on pain pills
Jack will you call me if you're able?
I got you're number written
In the back of my bible
Jack I think you're pulling my leg
And I think maybe I better ask Meg
Meg, do you think that Jack really loves me?
*You, know, I don't care because Jack really bugs me
Why don't you ask him now?*
I would but Meg, I really just don't know how
*Just say 'Jack, do you adore me?'*
Well I would Holly but love really bores me
Well maybe we should just be friends
I'm just kidding Holly
You know that I'll love you til the end
Well its true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too but there's just so much
That I don't know about you
Holly give me some of your english lovin'
If I did that Jack I'd have one in the oven
Why don't you go off and love yourself
If I did that Holly there won't be anything left
For anybody else
Jack that's too bad
About the way that you look
You know I'd give that horse a carrot
So he'd break your foot
*Will the two of you cut it out
And tell 'em what its really all about*
Well its true that we love one another
I love Jack White like a little brother
Well Holly I love you too
But there's just so much
That I don't know about you
Well It's True That We Love One Another
