When You Give Your Love to Me

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.
