"Books" lyrics

"Books"

'Member when we were riding in your car
Not thinkin' 'bout much, didn't get too far
Nineteen miles til the gas ran out
And I ain't never walked that far before

It tastes like candy and cigarettes
And at that point, hadn't tasted anything better yet
Got that love that can make a man
Got those eyes, make a man forget
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Say you love me all the way
Say that you love me, you do
Say that you'll call me every single day
Place a phone call for you
And I'll let you listen to my favorite tapes
Playing my tapes right through
Say you love me all the way
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah-yeah

She said I'll try to help you if I can
And after all this time, you're still the man
We're just books upon a shelf
Try to understand this if you can

And then she gives like a bubble bath
Oh, I love it when you laugh
Rain like pennies in a tin can
There's only one question left to ask
Whoa-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

Do you love me all the way
Say that you love me, you do
Say that you'll call every single day
Place a phone call for you
And I'll let you listen to my favorite tapes
Playing my tapes right through
Say that you love me all the way

Say that you love me all the way
Say that you love me, you do
Say that you'll call every single day
Place a phone call for you
And I'll let you listen to my favorite tapes
Playing my tapes right through
Say that you love me all the way
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah-yeah
