Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Adam and Eve were once a loving pair
Just take my word for that
They were the first to have a love affair
Heaven was in their flat
Love was then a baffling proposition
Solving it is man’s ambition
Refrain
There’s something about love that
I love and you love
Oh, it’s something we can’t explain
A kiss and a touch mean ever so much
They captivate your heart and brain
There’s something about love that’s magic
It’s tragic, It gladdens and saddens, too
It’s something we’re falling for
Our heart’s keep calling for
There’s something ’bout love that
I love, and you love, and he loves and she loves
There’s something ’bout love we love
