Lyrics
I Read a Book when the Cupboard was bare
I gave a Concert in Washington Square
I had a girl-friend with really long Hair
And her Name was, Love-Love-Love
(What did you say her Name Was?)
Love, Love, Love
Her Name was Love
I gave a Concert in Herald Square
All the Beautiful People were There
By the Time I left, the Cupboard was bare,
'Cause I sang Love Love Love
(Pay You Man, that's really Cool)
Love Love Love
(Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
I gave a Concert in Coney Island
All the Roller Coasters and Lovers were There
Then I met a Girl from Madison Avenue
Who said, "I used to see you back in the City,
When you were so Wonderfully Pretty,
And you used to Sing,
Love, Love, Love."
(I Remember that, that was really cool, Man, hey)
I gave a Concert in Battery Park
There were Thousands of People
Standing in the Dark
I was up on a Lighted Stage
Like a Bird in a Gilded Cage,
I sang Love Love Love
