[offset:0]
[00:00.46]
[00:02.03]
[00:12.61] The book of love is long and boring
[00:16.06]
[00:17.49] No one can lift the damn thing
[00:22.30] It's full of charts and facts and figures
[00:25.54]
[00:27.16] And instructions for dancing
[00:29.34]
[00:31.22] But I I love it when you read to me
[00:40.26]
[00:41.64] And you you can read me anything
[00:51.27]
[00:56.57] The book of love has music in it
[01:00.58]
[01:01.33] In fact that's where music comes from
[01:04.21]
[01:06.01] Some of it is just transcendental
[01:10.81] Some of it is just really dumb
[01:14.74]
[01:15.57] But I I love it when you sing to me
[01:23.67]
[01:25.04] And you you can sing me anything
[01:33.22]
[01:40.33] The book of love is long and boring
[01:43.70]
[01:45.02] And written very long ago
[01:48.07]
[01:49.81] It's full of flowers and
[01:52.75] Heart-shaped boxes
[01:53.81]
[01:54.75] And things we're all too young to know
[01:58.12]
[01:58.93] But I I love it when you give me things
[02:07.35]
[02:08.35] And you you ought to
[02:15.72] Give me wedding rings
[02:17.15]
[02:18.71] I I love it when you give me things
[02:27.13]
[02:28.32] And you you ought to
[02:35.06] Give me wedding rings
