"Give Me Shakespeare" Lyrics

4.4 / 5
Song updated, review now!
I really love you for your mind
And I know that we're two of a kind
I don't go straight for that physical bit
It always turns out a one-way trip
But won't you come up to my room
So we can discuss, say, Egyptian tombs
Or maybe just do a few little steps
From one of our favourite Bolshoi ballets
(Chorus):
Give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses
Give me Mozart instead of holding me tight
Give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel
Like 'Baby, it's alright'
Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting
Give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears
Give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle
Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali
And an evening at the opera

I really love you as you are
And without make-up I think that you'll go far
Your clothes hide your figure beautifully
It makes a lovely change, I mean that sincerely
I've got so much respect for you
And I know that you've got respect for me too
So let's go and relax on my bed
So we can confirm all that we've said
(Repeat chorus)

Writing and painting, poetry and neurology
Those are just some of my favourite things
Gershwin and Schumann, Newton and Rasputin
Those are just some of my favourite people
(Repeat chorus) Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali
Gimme gimme gimme Shakespeare, oh
Give me Shakespeare, oh
Give me Shakespeare, oh
Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali
And an evening at the opera
