Lyrics
1929 - Cole Porter What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me? I saw you there one wonderful day But you took my heart and you threw my heart away That's why I ask the Lord up in Heaven above Just what is this thing called love?
