[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
No time now for losing tempers
Or fillin' up with rage or anger
Flyin' off the handle could be detrimental
Calmer heads are called for here
A breath or two might be applied
Count to ten and then decide
Rash decision, crash collision
Damage done beyond repair

[Chorus]
Kinder words here, we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well, that needs to stop
Kinder words here, we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature, we need that to drop

[Verse 2]
A wrong move now might spell disaster
A selfish one might spell it faster
Let's relax, review the facts
For all involved that might be best
A world of difference might be made
If our next move could be delayed
We'll sort it out and we'll talk about
Just what it was that caused this mess
[Chorus]
Kinder words here, we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, that's the worst thing we could do
Kinder words here, we could chose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
Watch what we say, don't walk away, let's see it through, yeah

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Kinder words here, we could pick
A kind approach might do the trick
Hurt you, hurt me, well, that needs to stop
Kinder words here, we could choose
We've kind of got a lot to lose
The temperature, we need that to drop
