Lyrics The Book of Love - Stephin Merritt , The Shadowboxers
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's
just
transcendental
Some
of
it's
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.
And
I
I
love
it
when
you
give
me
things.
And
you
You
ought
to
give
me
wedding
rings.
You
ought
to
give
me
Wedding
rings.
