What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor
Fortune and fame they never endure
For love is the thing, love is the thing

What good is money if your heart isn't light
And here in your arms I'm wealthy tonight
When youth has its fling, love is the thing

While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is the thing that is free
Love for you and me

And even though our castles [bad word] and fall
We have the right to laugh at them all
For love is still king, love is the thing

(Orchestral Break)

While others fight for power

Knowing that the best thing in life
Is the thing that is free
Love for you and me

And even though our castles [bad word] and fall

For love is still king, love is the thing
