[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, but

[Chorus 1]
I...
I love it when you read to me and
You...
You can read me anything

[Verse 2]
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 is just really dumb, but

[Chorus 2]
I...
I love it when you sing to me and
You...
You can sing me anything

[Verse 3]
The book of love is long and boring
And written many years ago
It's filled with flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know, but
[Chorus 3]
I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings
I...
I love it when you give me things and
You...
You ought to give me wedding rings
