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

Been 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.
