There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

There's nothin' shakin' ll ke love makin'
There's nothin'as long as it lasts
One day can be there forever
The next is a thing of the past
Now listen to this

I fell in love with a sweet little girl once
She was ev'rything a woman should be
Did ev'rything to find if she was wrong
But it seemed she loved only me
She gave me some pretty good things
Things I couldn't get from my own dear mother
I had to go 'way for just a few days
When I returned she'd gone off with my brother
I was drivin' and I didn't see it coming, no

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Once I knew this rich man
He treated hiswoman like a queen
He gave the woman ev'rything she needed
He kept her lookin'so fine and clean
He had so much faith in her
His love he never had to check out
He had to go see a man about a dog one day
And when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell you boy, you wouldn't listen to me

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Listen! there ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next is a thing of the past

La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo, whoo, whoo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, whoo

There's no bus'ness like love bus'ness
There's no bus'ness I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go

Listen! there ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next is a thing of the past
