Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end

Love, love, love

Love takes you back
To the first love you had
Remembering

They say you can’t forget
Your first taste of love
Memories

Love, love, love

Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don’t try pretend

Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
Don’t try pretend
