De-Lovely – What Is This Thing Called Love? lyrics
I was a humdrum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my humdrum hard

Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing, called love?
This funny thing, called love
Just who can solve it's 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? "

What is this thing, called love?
This funny thing, called love
Just who can solve it's 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? "
