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 I, I love it when you read to me 
and you, you can read me anything 

The book of love has music in it 
In fact that's where music comes from 
Some of it is just transcendental 
Some of it is just really dumb 
but I, I love it when you sing to me 
and you, you can sing me anything

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 
but 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
