This Thing Called Love

It plays with my heart 
And quarrels with my mind 
Plays with my thoughts 
Disturbs my soul 
 ... This Thing Called Love 

It wraps my words around my finger 
And ties my tongue with twine 
It seals my cognition in halt motion 
Logic is nowhere in sight 
...This Thing Called Love 

My heart beats in slow race 
My words long gone in submissiveness 
To the one my heart beats for 
I don't know what hits me, but I think 
It's... This Thing Called Love 

It spins my head 
And makes me do things I know not of 
Like chasing butterflies at twilight 
And watching the moon catwalk in the sky at day time 
 ... This Thing Called Love 

This heart speaks a language 
Only the intoxicated mouth knows 
Intoxicated mouth,  intoxicated soul 
Drowning in love with blissful glee 
... This Thing Called Love 

This heart race 
Just at the sight of my beloved 
This mouth quivers,  just at the taste of his sweetness 
All because of 
... This Thing Called Love
