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?

(bridge)

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?
