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's 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, yeah
You can sing me anything
[Verse 5]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh
[Verse 6]
The book of love is long and boring
And written many years ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
[Verse 7]
And I, I love it when you give me things
And you, you wanna give me wedding rings
Yeah you, you wanna give me wedding rings
You wanna give me wedding rings
