I read the book from back to front 
It made a deep impression 
Twenty thousand pages baby 
I hoped for some direction 
I stood before the mirror 
I stared at my reflection 
I’d almost disappeared 
And I made no impression 
I went down to my baby’s house 
And I sat down on the step 
Said 2000 years of Christian history baby 
And you ain’t learned to love me yet 
My baby looked me in the eye 
My nails were bitten to the quick 
She said you used to love me all night long 
But you’ve gotten so thin and sick 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb 
I read that book from back to front 
Looking for some inspiration 
I’d been listening to the radio 
Trying to find some self expression 
I been listening to the Woman’s hour 
I been listening to Gardeners Question Time 
But every thing I try to grow 
I can’t even grow a dandelion 
I been watching the MTV 
I been watching the BBC 
And I’ve been searching on the internet 
And I’m getting so thin and sick 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb 
I went to my baby’s house 
And I lay down on the step 
She said ‘What are you doing here’ 
I said ‘I been trying to make some sense 
But every action that I take 
Is of absolutely no consequence’ 
My baby said ‘You can sit there’ 
She reached down with her fingers 
Her fingers went right through me 
(I screamed my head off) 
I was so thin and sick 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb 
I’m gonna send you a love bomb
