I love you, said the mother
All covered in flour
From the life she was baking
To help her devour
All the youth at her making
She wanted to shower with love
With love
With love
I love you, said the brother
His teeth smiling wide
To the sister he smothered
In dreams late last night
For the time she was brothered
And hated his sight out of love
Out of love
Out of love
What's the magic word
Love
Love
Say the magic word
Love
Love
I love you, said the father
To the mother in flour
To the brother in fear
Of his sister's power
I love you
I made you
And now I can rest
With the love that I taught you
I gave you the best of my love
I gave love
For your love
I love you, said the lovers
With years in their eyes
That weigh and not measure
The way to defies
The cries and the pleasure
That cover the lies of their love
Of their love
Of their love
What's the magic word
Love
Love
Say the magic word
Love
Love
