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

[Chorus]
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 is just transcendental
Some of it is just fucking dumb

[Chorus]
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 some time ago
It's full of hearts and flower-shaped boxes
And things we're way too adult to know
[Chorus]
But I, I love it when you give me things
And you, you ought to give me wedding rings
Weren't you supposed to give me something?
I think you may have forgotten something
Isn't this some kind of transaction or something?
You were supposed to give me something
