You know you’ve got to believe me
I ain’t telling no lies
Love ain’t a word on the bookshelf
That I pull out when I’m high
I see no reason to leave you
I’ll always be by your side
And never think of me, darling
As a short-lived prize

Sympathy is not for me
And I have no jealousy
Take me down to the sea to stay

We could live by the ocean
In a cottage no doubt
We could run by the moonlight
Makin’ music ourselves
And I’ll come home at night
And you’ll be there with me
Am I dreaming now
I just want you to see

You know you’ve got to believe me
I ain’t tellin’ no lies
Love ain’t a word on the bookshelf
That I pull out when I’m high
