Down with Love Lyrics

Down with love, the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love, the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Take that moon and wrap it in cellophane

Down with love, let's liquidate all its friends
The moon, the June, the roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love, yes, take it away, away
Take it away, Take it away
Give it back to the birds and the bees and the Viennese
Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with Cupid
Brother, let's stuff that dove
Down with love
Oh let's go

Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Take that moon and wrap it in cellophane
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love, take it away, away
Take it away, Take it away
Give it back to the birds and the bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with Cupid
Brother, let's stuff that dove
Brother, let's stuff that dove
Brother, let's stuff that dove
Down with love
Down with love
Down with love
Down with love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
