Can't see it with your eyes hold it in your hands Like the rules that govern our land Strong enough to rule the heart of every man this thing called love It can lift you up, it can put you down Take your world and turn it all around Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love Men like me they worry and doubt Trouble their minds day in and day out Too busy a livin' to worry about a thing called love And then I see a mother's tenderness As she holds her young close to her breast Then I say thank God this world will win with the thing called love
