Love's a Mysterious Thing

I looked back way back in my mind
Searching for love this time
She came along she was just eighteen
Lord she was fine

I thought all that I needed was grace
A few words something simple to say
You know love's a mysterious thing

I'm growing old and I'm still on my knees
Hoping her love I can persuade
I'd trade all to the Devil himself
To make her stay

Don't be fooled is all she could say
As she turned to walk away
You know love's a mysterious thing

Chorus:
Love's a mysterious thing
It'll make you offer diamond rings
I'll break you and make you sing the blues
It'll shake you
With that feeling that's got to be true

Bridge:
You been prayin'
I been singin'
About what you mean to me
Someone's got to set me free
You know love's a mysterious thing

I took some time just to lay it on the line
And tell her what I had to say
She took me in and said she loved me once again
I heard her say
That love's a mysterious thing

Chorus:
Love's a mysterious thing
It'll make you offer diamond rings
I'll break you and make you sing the blues
It'll shake you
With that feeling that's got to be true

Love's a mysterious thing
It'll make you offer diamond rings
I'll break you and make you sing the blues
It'll shake you
With that feeling that's got to be true
