The Magnetic Fields — The Book Of Love

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But I, I love it when you read to me And you, you can read me anything [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But I, I love it when you sing to me And you, you can sing me anything [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
