00:00What is this thing called love?
00:13This funny thing called love
00:20Just who can solve its mystery?
00:28Why should it make a fool of me?
00:35I saw you there one wonderful day
00:42You took my heart, threw it away
00:48That's why I ask the Lord in heaven above
00:56What is this thing called love?
01:03It's amazing we can transplant and clone
01:07We can penetrate the deepest unknown
01:10Biogenetically, efficiently, synthetically
01:13Alter our genes, whatever that means
01:16But who can explain that quirk of the brain
01:19That place in the soul that's out of control
01:23That part of the heart that quivers and quakes
01:26That aches till it breaks
01:33The torches, the thrills, the heat and the chills
01:36That weaken the knees of the fives and the b's
01:39Of the he's and the she's and the you's and the me's
01:43With that internal, nocturnal, eternal, infernal disease
01:49Oh yes, I saw you there one wonderful day
01:57You took my heart, I threw it away
02:03That's why I ask the Lord in heaven above
02:10What is this thing that I keep questioning
02:16It's so disparaging, cause no one's answering
02:23What is this thing called love?
02:47I guess, I guess there are some questions
02:56To which there are no answers
02:59Especially those dealing with matters of the heart
03:04Particularly broken hearts
03:08The only good thing about unrequited love
03:13Is that it's been the inspiration
03:15For some of the greatest songs ever written
03:19Like this one by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin
