When You Give Your Love to Me - Kevin Gilbert

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
