Jimmy Dean – Thing Called Love lyrics

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)

Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man
Brought down to his knees by love.

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

Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
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 let you down
Yake your world turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found
Stronger than love.

Most men are like me they struggle in doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy of living to worry about
A thing called love.

But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that this world's been blessed
With a thing called love.

Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart
Of any man this thing called love...
