Deep in the Heart of the South Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 gray
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 gray
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
