Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

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?

Written by: Cole Porter, Friedrich Gulda
