Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love is funny or it's sad
It's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
[Verse 2]
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind at all
[Verse 3]
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache anyway
But beautiful
[Verse 4]
And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
I know
[Verse 5]
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache anyway
But beautiful
[Verse 6]
And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
I know
