G C G
Love, is a many splendored thing
G C G
There’s heartache pain and sad songs to sing
D
Playin’ cool’s the golden rule
C
Cut them loose the most use
G C G
And I work best when the off switch is on.
My heart, is a lovely flowing spring
For you, you sweet and subtle thing
I can’t win when I cave in
Settin’ you free is for me
And I work best when the off switch is on
Bridge:
A
Well if you’re ever on the b-side
G D
Won’t you come see about me
A
I weren’t down for your jive ride
G D
I let it be, let it be
A
Well it true I’ve been here long
G D
But I know right from wrong
G
And you ain’t never been right
C G
In a solitary song.
Verse:
My song, is a simple one to sing
For you, I nixed the wedding ring
A young bride for my foolish pride
Just a kid for my lustful id
And I work best when the off switch is on.
