That's Love Songtext
von Stephen Bruton

Every single soul has but a handful of days
In this dream that we call life
A pair of eyes so you can see both sides
A twisted sense of humor and a tongue like a knife
You got your good and evil, heaven and hell
Just enough brains to outsmart yourself

But you ain′t got nothing till you lay it on the line
For a four letter word with such a sweet sweet sound
It's the only thing for certain makes the world go on around

And that′s love
No doubt about it
You're gonna jump and shout when it finally finds you
That's love
Ain′t nothing finer when your gal ain′t just a dish
She's a whole set of china
That′s love


Well you might think that you're doing fine
You got the world right by the tail
But deep inside on the days you′ve tried
You lock your heart inside a jail
You think your luck's run out, your ship′s gone south
Your life is slowed to a crawl
And finally think it's better loving lost
Than to never have a loss at all

In the blink of an eye your biggest dream can come true
Everything you said just made a liar out of you

And that's love
No way you planned it
Don′t try to understand it when it finally comes true
That′s love
It's gonna drive you mad
It′s gonna make you cry if it's going to the bad
But that′s love
That's love


You know this ain′t no jazz rehearsal
This ain't no song and dance
If you hang around here baby long enough
You might get yourself a second chance
It might be a whirlwind romance
That leads you down the primrose trail
But hang on tight 'cause you just might
Have a tiger by the tail
It′s never ever how or never was before
It′s gonna get your attention like a two by four

And that's love

It don′t come cheap
May stay in bed forever, may have to split the sheets
But that's love
It′s gonna drive you mad
It's gonna make you cry if it′s going to the bad

But that's love
No doubt about it
You're gonna jump and shout when it finally finds you
That′s love
Ain′t nothing finer when your gal ain't just a dish
She′s a whole set of china
That's love

That′s love
That's love
That′s love
