| People walkin' 'round, all lost and confused
 | 
| Ready to throw their lives out in the gutter
 | 
| Ain’t no love between 'em, father to son
 | 
| Man to woman, brother to brother
 | 
| You and me we move, in opposite directions
 | 
| Like two spheres on their separate planes
 | 
| Ain’t nobody loved me better than you done
 | 
| So why can’t we just find a way to (live) — stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together
 | 
| Life’s too hard to make it all alone
 | 
| An' peace and harmony don’t come in packages with bows
 | 
| An' true love ain’t somethin' you find layin' around
 | 
| Don’t you know, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Mothers don’t you turn your backs on your children
 | 
| Children don’t you leave the family
 | 
| Ain’t no point in livin', life all by yourself
 | 
| So why can’t we just find a way to (live) — stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together
 | 
| Life’s too hard to make it all alone
 | 
| An' peace and harmony don’t come in packages with bows
 | 
| An' true love ain’t somethin' you find layin' around
 | 
| Don’t you know, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together
 | 
| Life’s too hard to make it all alone
 | 
| An' peace and harmony don’t come in packages with bows
 | 
| An' true love ain’t somethin' you find layin' around
 | 
| Don’t you know, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together
 | 
| Yeah — peace and love and war and hate
 | 
| Something’s best and something just to get away
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together, let’s stay together
 | 
| Let’s stay together |
