Love Is The Thing

I got up, I got down

I could barely breathe or make a sound

Then a man came to me

He said I think I know exactly what you need

He told me

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

The thing you ought to try

No need to ask me why

He said that

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Well I shook and I moaned

I told him I’d forever be alone

He said son can’t you see

“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”

He told me

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

The thing you ought to try

No need to ask me why

He said that

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Ah, love is a wonderful thing

You sit there alone by the phone

Just what you tryin’ to prove

Well love is a switch and the itch

That’s gonna bring you to

There’s nothing you can do

I said oh, I’m not well

There must be something more for you to tell

I said wait, please don’t go

He said there’s nothing I can do

But there is something you should know

He said that

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

The thing you ought to try

No need to ask me why

He said that

Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try

Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Ah, love is a wonderful thing

Yes, love is a wonderful thing
