Don’t tell me you don’t know what love is When you’re old enough to know better When you find strange hands in your sweater When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote I’m a man with a mission in two or three editions And I’m giving you a longing look Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book ---

And what does it mean without your love? Where would I be? ---
