i know that you can read me like a book
i'm a hundred times as stupid as i look
i've got this crazy heart i can't control
would someone please have mercy on my soul
cause i just saw your face across the room
and i got this sense of impending doom
why don't you kick me in the head
and don't you stop until i'm dead
or until i see somebody else
tomorrow afternoon

i'm in love with love, i do it every day
i fall for strangers and my common sense is stripped away
i'm in love with love, it's just this thing i do
i'm in love with love and tonight i'm in love
i'm in love with you

you could say i talk too much, i know it's true
but there's a million things i'd like to say to you
and i'm too ashamed to tell you what they are
so i'll complain about the weather and my car
if i'm lucky maybe you can read my mind
but the fates would never think to be so kind
so i'll sleep with my guitar
and pretend i'm where you are
at least until the next time
cupid's six-guns strike me blind

i'm in love with love, i do it every day
i fall for strangers and my common sense is stripped away
i'm in love with love, it's just this thing i do
i'm in love with love and tonight i'm in love
i'm in love with you

if i had the kind of face that could launch a thousand ships
if i had the kind of name that sounded gentle on your lips
if i wore the kind of clothes 
or said the things that women say
if i told you that i love you
would you turn your back and walk away

i'm in love with love, i do it every day
i fall for strangers and my common sense is stripped away
i'm in love with love, it's just this thing i do
i'm in love with love and tonight i'm in love
i'm in love with you
i'm in love with love and tonight i'm in love
i'm in love with you
i'm in love with you and tonight i'm in love
i'm in love
i'm in love with you
