A Thing Called Love Lyrics

[Bridge]
(Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa)

[Verse 1]
Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighed 235 pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love

[Verse 2]
He was the kind of man who would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love


[Chorus]
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
Like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love (this thing called love)
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love

[Bridge]
(Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa) oh oh oh oh


[Verse 3]
Most men are like me they struggle and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about a thing called love
[Verse 4]
But then I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank my God this world is blessed
With a thing called love


[Chorus]
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
Like the rules that cover our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of many man, this thing called love

It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love

[Bridge]
(Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa) oh oh uhm uhm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
