To be taken three times a day with meals

Romance is a challenging thing to prescribe

There’s no specialist in the field

Young men and doting women line the boulevards

And they scamper up and down the backstreets

Young hearts making love and all of the same mistakes made before

There’s no pill for you to take at regular intervals

That will make your heart flutter and your lashes dance

If there were medicine for it–

Simply say ‘ah’ and fall head over heels–

We’d have a brand new epidemic on our hands

If love could be bought we'd go broke

We'd all get addicted and pass out on the street

Teens would shoot up in basements

Old folks would pass out on the floor

It'd be quite the mess for our world

Side effects may include:

Redness

Nausea

Daydreaming

And of course the ever present threat of heartache

It’s probably good we can’t manufacture it

I don’t know that it would be a good thing

Love is one of those things man hasn’t managed to make

You can’t make whimsy, or hope

Love is something that happens to you, not something you take

Love doesn’t come in a bottle

Love comes by surprise

It’s better this way

But much harder to plan around

Maybe that’s the point
