"I Love The Way" lyrics

[Portia:]
I love Sidney and Marlowe and often I borrow
Their words to express how I feel
I love poems of mystery, fantasy, history
Oh, what seductive appeal
At night, alone in my bedroom
Satisfying my need
The candlelight fire ignites my desire
To read

Oh
Every time I hear a perfect rhyme I get all tingly
Because I know
That to find a perfect rhyme is not an easy thing-ly

I love the places that words let me go
I love the way that your words move me so
No words have touched me the way that yours do
And I love

You are really doing something to me, Mr. Poetry Man
Oh, forgive me, I never get to discuss poems in this way

[Nigel:]
Oh, it's ok, I just never knew that poetry could affect someone the way it affects me

[Portia:]
Me neither

[Nigel:]
It's the end-all, the be-all, oh, you oughta see all
The books that I have on my shelf

[Portia:]
Me too!
I find pleasure perusing those writings and musings
So often I pleasure myself
Wait, that didn't sound right

[Nigel:]
No, I know what you mean
When I'm deep in the throes of impassionate prose
I could scream

[Portia:]
You scream?

[Nigel:]
Yeah

[Portia:]
So do I! Ahh!

Oh
I love a lilting line of lyrical alliteration

[Nigel:]
Who doesn't love alliteration?

[Portia:]
And then I'm like "woah"
When the phrases come together like a consummation

[Nigel:]
It's sweet elation

[Portia & Nigel:]
I love the places that words let me go
I love the way that your words move me so
I love that you feel the same way I do
And I love

You know that I love
You know that I love

[Nigel:]
Me too
