And I want you, yeah, like a lawyer/mathematician wants some kind of proof

G G7 C D C D G

And I want you, yeah, like JFK wanted a car with a roof...

CHORUS 1:

G C Em D

()

Because love is taking that dive, then getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool

G C Em D

And love is a real life porn, minus all the stuff that makes porn cool

G C Em D

And love is a homeless guy searching for treasure in the middle of the rain

G C Em D

And finding a bag of gold coins and slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate

G C Em D

And even though he's heart broken, he can't complain because he was hungry in the first place...

INTERLUDE [continue G chord]:

BRIDGE:

G7 C D

And if we met in ten thousand BC, I was your caveman, you's my cavelady...

G G7

If we got hot - we'd start rubbin', if we got hungry - we'd go clubbin'

C D

There's wooly mammoths, but I will protect us - you're making me devolve to a Homo Erectus

C D

And if we met in 1780, I would be a white southern aristocratic plantation owner

VERSE 3:

G G7

Whenever I could get away from the Missus, I go to your shed and then I'd steal you kisses

C D

But let's be serious, I'd still work you full-time as a slave

C D

If it was 1941, I was a Nazi, you's a Gypsy on the run - that's a little redundant

G G7 C D

That probably wouldn't have worked out...

CHORUS 2/OUTRO:

C D G C Em D

Because love is your favorite food for every breakfast, lunch and dinner

G C Em D

And love is the Holocaust - if you don't die quick and you don't get thinner

G C Em D

And love is being the owner of the company that makes rape whistles

G C Em D

And even though you started the company with good intentions trying to reduce the rate of rape,

G C Em

now you don't want to reduce it at all, 'cause if the rape rate declines

D G G7

you'll see an equal decline in whistle sales...

C D G G7

Without rapists, who's gonna buy your whistles?

C D G

Yeah, love is all about... whistles
