[Verse 1]
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts, some figures
And instructions for dancing

[Chorus 1]
But 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's just transcendental
Some of it's just really dumb

[Chorus 2]
But 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 very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
[Chorus 3]
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
