A Thing Called Love - 1988 Version

Six foot six he stood on the ground

He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds

But I saw that giant of a man brought down

To his knees by love

He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck

Look you in the eye and never back up

I saw him crying like a little whipped pup

Because of love

You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands

But like the wind it covers our land

Strong enough to rule the heart of any man

This thing called love

It can lift you up, never let you down

Take your world and turn it around

Ever since time nothing's ever been found

That's stronger than love

Most men are like me, they struggle and doubt

Trouble their minds day in and day out

Too busy with livin' to worry about

A little word like love

But when I see a mother's tenderness

As she holds her young close to her breast

I thank God that the world's been blessed

With a thing called love

You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands

But like the wind it covers our land

Strong enough to rule the heart of any man

This thing called love

It can lift you up never let you down

Take your world and turn it around

Ever since time nothing's ever been found

That's stronger than love

Ever since time nothing's ever been found

That's stronger than love
