We’re not saying you can change them, cos people don’t really change We’re only saying that love’s a force that’s powerful and strange People make bad choices if they’re mad or scared or stressed Throw a little love their way and you’ll bring out their best TRUE LOVE BRINGS OUT THEIR BEST Ever yone’s a bit of a fixer upper, that’s what it’s all about Father! Sister! Brother! We need each other to raise us up and round us out Ever yone’s a bit of a fixer upper, but when push comes to shove The only fixer upper that can fix a fixer upper is TRUE LOVE!
