"Thing Called Love" lyrics

Thing Called Love

Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighted two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down
To his knees by love

He was the kind of man that would gamble on love
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup
Because of love

Can't see it with your eyes
Hold it in your hands
But like the wind
That covers our land
Strong enough to rule
The heart of any 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

Most men like me
They struggle and doubt
They trouble their minds
Day in and day out
Too busy with a living
To worry about
A word called love

But when I see a mother's
Tenderness
As she holds her young
Close to her breast
Then I thank God
This world was blessed
With a word called love

Can't see it with your eyes
Hold it in your hands
But like the wind
That covers our land
Strong enough to rule
The heart of any 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
