What is this thing called love?
|
This funny thing called love?
|
Just who can solve its mystery?
|
Why should it make a fool of me?
|
|
I saw you there one wonderful day
|
You took my heart and threw it away
|
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
|
What is this thing called love?
|
|
[Instrumental interlude]
|
|
I saw you there one wonderful day
|
You took my heart and threw it away
|
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
|
What is this thing called love?
|
|
Following is another version with additional verses:
|
|
I was a hum-drum person
|
Leading a life apart
|
When love flew in through my window wide
|
And quickened my hum-drum heart
|
Love flew in thorugh my window
|
I was so happy then
|
But after love had stayed a little while
|
Love flew out again
|
|
What is this thing called love?
|
This funny thing called love?
|
Just who can solve its mystery?
|
Why should it make a fool of me?
|
I saw you there one wonderful day
|
You took my heart and threw it away
|
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
|
What is this thing called love?
|
|
You gave me days of sunshine
|
You gave me nights of cheer
|
You made my life an enchanted dream
|
'Til somebody else came near
|
Somebody else came near you
|
I felt the winter's chill
|
And now I sit and wonder night and day
|
Why I love you still?
|
