Love Poems?

So...I don't often find myself reading Love poems. I don't know why, it's not that I'm against love or showing one's emotion, it's just not my thing. However, I adore love songs of any shape and size, especially ones that aren't terribly serious. Anyway, I recently saw the movie Juno in theaters(LOVED it.) and this was the opening song. I'm pretty sure it's by the Moldy Peaches, but I'm not 100% sure. I just thought it was a very simple way of telling someone about love.

If I was a flower growing wild and free,
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green,
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves.

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side.
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow.
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side.
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod.
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug.
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug.
