The Complete Decca Singles Vol. 1: 1935-1939
Love is the thing, so they say!
Makes you laugh and sing, so they say!
Still, how can I help but disagree
When love made a fool out of me.

Kisses are sweet, so they say!
A delightful treat, so they say!
But here am I left in agony,
A kiss made a fool out of me.

I am not to blame for feeling this way,
To me love has been so unfair;
How would you feel if your love went astray
When you were just beginning to care?

But I'll string along, though skies are grey,
Hoping that love will find a way,
And maybe my heart will sing some day,
'Cause love is the thing, so they say!

I am not to blame for feeling this way,
To me love has been so unfair;
How would you feel if your love went astray
When you were just beginning to care?

But I'll string along, though skies are grey,
Hoping that love will find a way,
And maybe my heart will sing some day,
'Cause love is the thing, so they say, they say,
'Cause love is the thing, so they say!
