Lyrics
Love, as far as I’m concerned
Has been a mystery
And I could never see
How it could bother me
I’ll admit I never learned
The things that it could do
Oh, oh, oh, oh! the first thing I knew
Refrain
Along came love, with the cutest little smile
An easy going style
Along came love, with a twinkle in his eye
A dimple and a sigh
It hit me from the start
‘Cause, oh, did I jump
I felt my little heart go bumpity bump
Along came love, with a come and get me glance
I didn’t have a chance, oh
I just fell without a shove
My slogan used to be
“No wedding bells for me”
Then along came love
