There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you can be there forever
The next it's a just a thing of the past
Now listen to this
I fell in love with a sweet little girl once
She was everything a woman should be
I did everything to find if she was wrong
But it seemed she loved only me
She gave me some pretty good things
Things I couldn't get from my own dear mother
I had to go away for just a few days
When I returned she's gone off with my brother
I was driving man and I didn't see it coming, no
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you can be there forever
The next it's a just a thing of the past
Once I knew this rich man
He treated his woman like a queen
He gave the woman everything she needed
He kept her lookin' so fine and clean
He had so much faith in her
His love he never had to check out
But he had to go see a man about a dog one day
And when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell you boy, you wouldn't listen to me
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
Listen! There ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next it's a thing of the past
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo, whoo, whoo
La, de, da, de, da, da, ooh, whoo
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
Listen! There ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next it's a thing of the past
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
