| I’ve been thinking about this for the last 3 days
|
| I don’t think that I’m deluding myself
|
| I don’t think that this is just a phase
|
| And I don’t mean to shock you — I hope that I’m not rushing in
|
| But I think that this is kinda important
|
| And I don’t know exactly where to begin
|
| My whole life has been a constant ailment
|
| You can provide a simple remedy
|
| Yeah, I’m gonna show some vast improvement
|
| When you give your love to me
|
| And you can trust that I’m a worthy recipient
|
| And be assured I’ll act responsibly
|
| I’ll treat it like a work of rare and priceless art
|
| When you give your love to me
|
| So how’s about it girlfriend? |
| Am I gonna have to twist your arm?
|
| Perhaps it’s not the most original concept
|
| But it has a kind of timeless charm
|
| You’ll have the little birds flying all around your head
|
| And you’ll gaze at me dreamily
|
| Yeah, the whole world’s gonna smile and wave
|
| When you give your love to me
|
| And I will write you a hundred sonnets — Every word will rhyme easily
|
| And all your friends will be genuinely supportive |
| When you give your love to me
|
| I’m sick of hearing about sadness
|
| I’m sick of violent crime
|
| I’m sick of angry militant lesbian feminists
|
| I’m sick of imperfect rhyme
|
| I’ve always heard that we should love one another
|
| And what a fine example we will be!
|
| Maybe we can start a trend or something
|
| When you give your love to me
|
| And maybe then we’ll get our friends together
|
| And they’ll all get along famously
|
| I think that everyone will feel much better
|
| When you give your love to me
|
| There’ll be global peace and religious tolerance
|
| All men as brothers in a world that’s free
|
| There’ll be a perfect cosmic harmonic convergence
|
| When you give your love to me |
