"The Book Of Love" lyrics - GAVIN JAMES

GAVIN JAMES
"The Book Of Love"
(Stephin Merritt)

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
Its full of charts and facts, and figures
And instructions for dancing

[Hook:]
And 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's just transcendental
Some of it's just really dumb

[Hook:]
And I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything (yeah)
You can sing me anything

[Interlude:]
Ooooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooh ooh

The book of love is long and boring
And written many years ago
It's full of flowers and heart shaped boxes
And things were all too young to know

[Outro:]
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You want to give me wedding rings[3x]
