Lyrics
There’s a topic prevails
In historical pages
It’s the one thing
That makes the world go round, all around
And the thing never fails
It has lived thru the ages
Ev’ry lover will discover the secret I’ve found
Refrain
Love is the thing Adam lost a rib for
What did Eva tell a fib for
Love is the thing, love is the thing
Juliet cried for it
Even Romeo died for it
Love is the thing
Great Cleopatra went to the bat
For her Mark Anthony
She lost a nation while she was chasin’
For that one hour of bliss
Love is the thing
Ever since creation
There is only one sensation
Love is the thing
