Sometimes you feel lost and far from home Then with just one kiss you're a king on a throne It can make you soar like an eagle Or it can make you feel as meek as a dove Whoa, that's the thing about love You hope and pray the right one comes along Some fools don't know what they've got till it's gone The very one you think will never hurt ya Always seems to be, the one that does Whoa, that's the thing about love You can't have it Until you give it You can never give it enough Whoa, that's the thing about love Naw, you can't have it Until you give it You can never give it enough So, next time you come in a natural flow Deep in the feeling's with your heart all aglow Don't stop to try to understand it Thank your lucky stars shinin' above, and say Whoa, that's the thing about love Whoa, that's the thing about love
