All dressed up for the main attraction

Na na na na, na na na na, na na
When in a black leather jacket walks little brother
And a message calling to the wild, hey

Gave you heart and soul 'til the day you die

You learn to walk and talk and laugh and cry
You learn to walk and talk and laugh and cry
Hey, little man

Walking down the street in his shining armor

God gave man the breath of life
To change the world and love is the ritual
Na na na na, na na na na, na na

Hey, like a handsome prince
She got a lot of time, she got a lot of money
Beating his chest and flexing his muscles
She just hears a calling to the wild, hey
And above it all love is the ritual
And above it all love is the ritual
Love is the ritual

To rock her world, to be her lover

Like a baby doll looking for love
Work your fingers to the bone 'til the day you die

Na na na na, na na na na, na na

Romeo in search of his heart
To grow up strong, to take a wife
To change the world and love is the ritual
