Love Story Lyrics

Lyric discussion by mbrachman 

Cover art for Love Story lyrics by Jethro Tull

The protagonist of this song sounds like an exasperated guy in a relationship with an immature, time-wasting, lazy but beautiful girl. While he works late (whether at a "straight" job or at night, like a musician), she sits around daydreaming, neglecting gardening and household tasks. His remonstrances are to no avail; she smiles sweetly at him and then, while he's away working his ass off, she's sitting on her ass doing nothing all day long.
