Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The book of love is long and boring

No one can lift the damn thing

It's full of charts, and facts, and figures

And instructions for dancing

[Verse 2]

And I

I love it when you read to me

And you

You can read me anything

[Verse 3]

The book of love has music in it

In fact that's where music comes from

Some of it is just transcendental

And some of it's just really dumb

[Verse 4]

And I

I love it when you sing to me

And you

You can sing me anything

[Verse 5]

The book of love is long and boring

And written very long ago

It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes

And things we're all too young to know

[Verse 6]

And I

I love it when you give me things

And you

You ought to give me wedding rings

[Verse 7]

You ought to give me wedding rings

[Verse 8]

You ought to give me wedding rings
