Sweetest little bookworm hidden underneath is the sexiest librarian
You and I at dinner, spending time, then to sleep
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me
Looking for a lesson in the periodicals
Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way
Karen of the Carpenters, singing in the rain
So I watch you through the bookcase imaging a scene
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me
If everybody gave like everybody could
There I spy you listening to the AM radio
It's not like you're not trying with a pencil in your hair
Duck into the men's room, combing through my hair
Since we got the inter web these hardly get used
Ramble up the stairwell into the hall of books
These words with a kiss I would plant in your head
And what then would I say to you lying there in bed?
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me

Simplest of pleasures, the world at it's best
I can hear the insects buzz and the leaves 'neath my feet
Simple little bookworm buried underneath is the sexiest librarian
Simple little beauty, heaven in your breath
What is it inside our heads that makes us do the opposite
When God gave us mirrors He had no idea
To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there
Walk across the courtyard towards the library
Makes us do the opposite of what's right for us?
'Cause everything'd be great and everything'd be good
