He's fought and he's fallen 
He's on his knees before he's on his feet 
sinister romantic 
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see 

Teachin' torches to burn bright 
She's hanging on the cheek of night 
snowy dove trooping with crows 
He never saw [bad word] beauty till tonight 
 [bad word]  
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance 
Show him that much 
Oh, don't you know it 
Oh, don't you know it 
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling 
She'll let him know his heart 
Oh, don't you know it 
Oh, don't you know it 
That's Shakespeare in love 

He's fought and he's fallen 
He's on his knees before he's on his feet 
glittery romantic 
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see 

His bounty's boundless like the sea 
His love is endless, just as deep 
The more he gives the more he has 
`Cause both of them are [bad word] infinite 
 [bad word]  
She'll take him to the brink of deliverance 
Show him that much 
Oh, don't you know it 
Oh, don't you know it 
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling 
She'll let him know his heart 
Oh, don't you know it 
Oh, don't you know it 
That's Shakespeare in love 

That's Shakespeare in love
