the best, the best, the best day

ring

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

— The Magnetic Fields
