I was a [bad word] person
leading a life apart
when love flew in through my window wide
and quickened my [bad word] heart 

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 its mystery
why should it make
a fool of me?

I saw you there
one wonderful day
you took my heart
and threw it away 
thats why I ask the lord
in heaven above
what is this thing 
called love?
