Lyrics
Whenever I heard people speak of love,
I thought it was the grandest thing on earth.
I even sent a prayer up to the Lord above
To bring me love so I could know its worth.
But then love proved to be a disappointment,
It seems it wasn’t meant for me,
And now when people speak of love and sentiment,
I laugh at them tho’ I’m in misery.

CHORUS
Love is the thing, so they say,
Makes you laugh and sing, so they say,
Still how can I help but disagree,
When love made a fool out of me.
Kisses are sweet, so they say,
A delightful treat, so they say,
But here I am left in agony,
A kiss made a fool out of me.
I am not to blame for feeling this way,
To me, love has been so unfair.
How would you feel if your love went astray,
When you were just beginning to care?
But I’ll string along tho’ skies are grey,
Hoping that love will find a way,
And maybe my heart will sing some day,
‘Cause love is the thing, so they say.
