Lyrics
What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love Just who can solve, its mystery? And why should it make A fool of me?

I saw you there, one wonderful day But you took my heart And you threw my heart away That's why I ask the Lord Up in Heaven above Just what is this thing called love?
