Lyrics

Book of Love (Early Version)

Walked out, goodbye
I swore I never would cry
(Tore a page of my heart)
She wants me to be her friend
I'm lonely again
(Tore a page of my heart)

Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above
Surely he must know all the rules
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love

In silence the lonely make
All their mistakes
(Tore a page of my heart)
Someone in heaven above
Show me how to love
(Tore a page of my heart)

Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above
Surely he must know all the rules
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love

Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above
Surely he must know all the rules
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love
