Lyrics

Tens and Tens

[Verse]

Tens and tens and tens

We'll find you in the end

Everyone's not lost

And everyone's a friend, uh, hoo-oh

Uh, hoo-oh

[Chorus]

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

[Verse]

Tens and tens and tens

Is what you'll have to spend

Everyone's not lost

And everyone's a friend, uh, hoo-oh

[Chorus]

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

Pick up your stuff, I'll pick up mine

Never the last but the first time

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

I've got your back while you've got mine

Never the last but the first time

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

Pick up your stuff, I'll pick up mine

Never the last but the first time

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

I've got your back while you've got mine

Never the last but the first time

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

Pick up your stuff, I'll pick up mine

Never the last but the first time

Take the morning, take the sun

I'll keep coming 'round and 'round

I've got your back while you've got mine

Never the last but the first time

[Instrumental]
