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
