Lyrics

Down with love, with flow ers and rice and shoes.

Down with love, the root of all mid night blues.

Down with things that give you that well known, ah,

pain.

Take that moon, wrap it in cel lo phane.

(F6)Down with love; let’s liq ui date all its friends,

like moon and June and (Bb9)ros es and rain bows’ ends.

Down with songs that (Bb7)moan a bout night and (F7)day.

(D)Down with (Bb)love;

take it a way, a (F6)way.

Take it a (Bb9)way,

take it a (F)way.

Give it back (Dm)to the birds (F)and the bees (F)and the Vi (B)en nese.

(F6)Down with (Gm7)eyes, ro (F6)man tic and (Bb6)stu pid.

(F13)Down with (Eb13)sighs,

down with Cu pid.

B (Gm)roth er, let’s stuff that (C)dove.

Down with (F)love.

(F6)Down with (Gm7)love; let’s (F6)liq ui date (Bb6)all (F6)its (Ab)friends,

like (F6)moon, June, and ros es and rain bows’ ends.

(Bb7)Down with songs that (Bbm6)moon a bout night and (Fmaj7)day.

(E7)You are the (A)one,

and I don’t stand a chance with a ghost like you.

Ah,

the prom ised kiss of spring is here.

Why does my heart go danc in’ o ver head on the ceil ing near my bed?

We go now

be cause I talk to the trees,

but (F)they (Fm)don’t (C)lis ten (C)to (Csus4)me.

I tell them: (F)You say (F)“ee ther,” (Gm7)I say (C)“eye ther.” (F)You say (F)“nee ther,” (Gm7)I say (C)“nye ther.” “Ee ther,” (F7)“eye ther,” “nee ther,” (B)“nye (F)ther.” Let’s call (Bb)the whole thing (F)off.

Take it a (Bb)way,

(G)take it a (F6)way.

Give it back (Dm)to the birds (Dm(maj7))and the bees (Dm7)and the Vi (Dm6)en (Gm7)nese.

(F)Down with eyes, ro (Bbmaj7)man tic and stu pid.

(A)Down with sighs,

down with Cu pid.

B (Gm7)roth er, (Bb)let’s stuff that dove.

D d down

I (Bbm6)go,

a (Am7)round and a round I go

(Gm7)in (Bb)a spin, ooh, hat ing the (B)spin I’m in.

What is this thing,

what is this thing called love?

About “Down With Love”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Down With Love"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature F. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Down With Love" by Barbra Streisand played in?
Down With Love is arranged in the key of F on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Down With Love"?
The arrangement plays at 120 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Down With Love" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Down With Love"?

Try "ORDINARY MIRACLES", "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "My Man (Mon Homme)". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Down With Love" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature F, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 120 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
