The Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love lyrics

The book of love is long and boring 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 and 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
