I got up, I got down
Then I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need
He told me

Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why,He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Well I shook, and I moaned
I told him I'd forever be alone
He said son can't you see
well "Here's the only thing you'll ever need"

He told me

Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why,He said that
Love is the thing

The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Yes, love is a wonderful thing

You sit there alone by the phone Just what you trying
to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch That's gonna bring
you to
There's nothing you can do

I said oh, I'm not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don't go
He said there's nothing I can do But there is something
you should know

He said that

Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why,He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
AH, love is a wonderful thing
