The Book Of Love Lyrics - Scratch My Back - Peter Gabriel

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.
