Intro:
verse 1
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.

Oh, 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!

verse 2
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.

Bridge
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.
