lyrics

The Book on Love

All is fair in love and war
I can’t remember what it is we’re fighting for
But I can’t compete this time
And I may just lose my my mind

You know I never said I wrote the book on love
There were no words in my head dictated from above
But I wish that I had read the blessed book on love
The book on love

You pierced my heart with cold blue steel
These war games that you play are certainly for real

You know I never said I wrote the book on love
There were no words in my head dictated from above
But I wish that I had read the blessed book on love
The book on love

I’m not an expert in this line
But I know when things are not fine
And they are positively poor
And have we gone too far this time
Now we have crossed enemy lines
What if we don’t survive this war

If we surrender what’s the cost
If the fighting stops we’ll see exactly what we’ve lost

You know I never said I wrote the book on love
There were no words in my head dictated from above
But I wish that I had read the blessed book on love
The book on love
