Lyrics

[00:21.610] The book of love is long and boring
[00:26.690] No one can lift the damn thing
[00:32.390] Its full of charts facts and figures
[00:38.190] And instructions for dancing
[00:43.090]
[00:44.680] But I....I love it when you read to me
[00:55.370] And y..o..u you can read me anything
[01:04.570]
[01:06.380] The book of love has music in it
[01:11.290] In fact that where music comes from
[01:17.050] Some of it is just transcendental
[01:22.990] Some of its just really dumb
[01:26.590]
[01:27.680] But I....I love it when you sing to me
[01:38.610] And y..o..u you can sing me anything
[01:51.610]
[02:12.110] The book of love is long and boring
[02:17.690] and written very long ago
[02:23.390] Its full of flowers and heart shape boxes
[02:29.390] And things we are all to young to know
[02:32.590]
[02:33.880] But I....I love it when you give me things
[02:44.770] And y..o..u ought to give me wedding rings
[02:55.410] And I....I love it when you give me things
[03:06.770] And y..o..u ought to give me wedding rings
[03:18.770]
[03:24.380] You ought to give me wedding rings
[03:31.580]
[03:33.680] The end
