A friend I had once told me
  Such an unusual story
  Of a man who did breathe in,
  But never did breathe out
  This tale reminds me of you
  Though a different shade of blue
  You cannot always take and never give,
  This is not how to life
    You gotta breathe in and out
  You gotta spread a little love all around
  Though I don't know this for sure
  Just another knock at my door
  A sprinkling of an inkling underneath an apple tree
  I'll tell you when I find out
  And show you what it is to breathe out
  A natural progression lesson messing up your mind
    You gotta breathe in and out
  You gotta spread a little love all around
  You gotta breathe in and out
  You gotta spread a little love all around
    I feel in you, another way to be
  I watch as you breathe over me, I'm breathing
    Like a tale on Jackanory
  The end to this unusual story
  Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on,
  Step out of the rain
    Thought I'd like to think this were true
  You've become a deeper shade of blue
  In my eyes, this comes as no surprise,
  You've nothing left to give...no
    You gotta breathe in and out
  You gotta spread a little love all around
  You gotta breathe in and out
  You gotta spread a little love all around
