Lyrics
If you wanna talk about something
You’ll be makin’ no blunder
Takin’ no chance if you pick a topic that comes under
The category of romance, for
Refrain
That book ‘way up on the list is
All about love, it’s all about love
That tune you cannot resist is
All about love
It’s an element’ry language
Everybody knows poetry, or prose
Ev’rybody speaks it
And you can call it happiness
Call it misery, ev’rybody seeks it
In plays the popular themes are
All about love, they’re all about love
In dreams your craziest dreams are
All about love, let’s face it
You’ll find that you’re a fool
If you look for something new
How can you replace it?
A heart is not a thing to build a wall about
A kiss is not a thing that you can stall about
If you don’t know it’s a thing to have a ball about
You know nothing at all about love
Refrain
Those things that mother knows best are
All about love, they’re all about love
Desires that can’t be surpressed are
All about love
Didn’t Mother Nature give us pretty greenery
Pretty scenery, as an inspiration?
While love and marriage do a chore
Doin’ wonders for mom and population
That note that comes with the flow’rs is
All about love, it’s all about love
That phone that’s tied up for hours is
All about love, let’s face it
Romance is indispensable, let’s be sensible
How can you replace it?
A heart is not a thing to build a wall about
A kiss is not a thing that you can stall about
If you don’t know it’s a thing to have a ball about
You know nothing at all about love
