Lyrics for What Is This Thing Called Love

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 That's why I ask the Lord in heaven above What is this thing called love? I saw you there one wonderful day You took my heart and threw it away That's why I ask the Lord in heaven above What is this thing called love?
