        Love is here, here to stay
        love is here, here to stay
        It gets proven every day
        love is here, here to stay

        They both love Chinese food, he hates to dress
        he loves to play pinball, she wants to play next
        She likes her novels long, he's into comic books
        they're gilt-edged polymorphous urban but somehow it works

        'Cause love is here, here to stay
        love is here, here to stay
        It gets proven every day
        love is here, here to stay

        She likes Truman Capote, he likes Gore Vidal
        he likes Edgar Allan Poe, she's into Mean Joe Greene
        She thinks eating meat's disgusting, he likes hot dogs
        she's into Gestalt therapy
        while est and the vest just make him ill
        But love is here to stay

        Love is here, here to stay
        love is here, here to stay
        It gets proven every day
        love is here, here to stay
        Love is here, here to stay
        love is here, here to stay
        It gets proven every day
        love is here, here to stay

Love Is Here To Stay

Love is here, here to stay
Love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day
Love is here, here to stay

They both love Chinese food, he hates to dress
He loves to play pinball, she wants to play next
She likes her novels long, he's into comic books
They're gilt-edged polymorphous urban but somehow it works

Love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day
Love is here, here to stay
Love is here, here to stay

She likes Truman Capote, he likes Gore Vidal
He likes Edgar Allan Poe, she's into Mean Joe Greene
She thinks eating meat's disgusting, he likes hot dogs
She's into Gestalt therapy, 
while est and the vest just make him ill, but (still) ...

Love is here, here to stay
It gets proven every day
Love is here, here to stay
Love is here, here to stay
