Story Behind The Song
Just a good time song about the trials of love ... inspired by a short relationship with a long term friend
Song Description
The mood is instant on a big boogie kit feel with heavy bass and slide guitar
The first two verses present a debate about what love is - there's a tease quality to the lyric
The chorus is a sho doo vibe with a catchy melody
The third verse is an invite to love followed by a crescendo double chorus
Backing vocals feature heavily throughout the track and there's a brief party feel at the outro

Lyrics
THIS THING CALLED LOVE
They say that love is blind
I think its good and its kind
Thats what I say about love
Here today gone tomorrow
I say pick up and follow
That's the way of love
Symbolized by a band of gold
(ooh)
With us till we grow old and grey
C'mon baby
What d'you say
Lets find this thing called love
I say love laughs at locksmiths
You say you'll only love me if
I give you something b'sides love
You say its purely physical
But I believe loves a miracle
That's whats so wonderful about love
It's a not a four letter word
Or something you just heard about
C'mon baby
Check me out
Lets do this thing called love
Shoo do doo doo
You say that love's too elusive
I say that's cos you aint tried to give
All of yourself to love
You say theres noone to trust
But I suggest love's a must
And everybody got to have some love
You cant let love pass you by
You just goin' have to try some more
C'mon baby
Close the door
Lets make this thing called love
Sho do doo doo
