If This Is Love

When I was a young man

I guess you could say

I would hopefully smile at the start of each day

No girl was a stranger

Who'd sit by my side

But then I found the secret

That you cannot hide

Over and over

This story I tell

Caught by surprise

Sent right to hell

For love is a gamble but this is no bet

The more you give the less you get

This is love

This is love

This is love

I don't want no part of it

Get to the heart of it

The more I tried to find you

The more you got lost

I knew that I must have you

No matter the cost

But all this is over

I've thrown off those chains

You're looking at a man

Who's pulled in those reins

Over and over

I tried not to ring

But each time I called

I heard just one thing

Love is a gamble but this is no bet

The more you give the less you get
