Sometimes
when I perform this song live, I'll introduce it by saying that
people tend
to think that all love songs are slow and soft and pretty, but that there are also some fast and hard and rockin' love songs. One of 'em is This Must Be That Thing. -Steve H. |
1. Been around and I've seen a lot
of women / oh, but darlin', you've got my head swimmin'
My hands are shakin' and my heart
is reelin' / ain't never, ever, had this kind of
feelin'
Oh, I'll tell you what I'm thinkin'
of
I'm thinkin' this must be that thing
/ they call love
chorus: Oh, I've heard about
it / and I've read about it
Now that I'm findin' out about it
/ I don't know how I lived without it
And there's a big ol' sun / shinin'
in the blue sky above
Well, this must be that thing / they
call love
2. Done my share of wild, wild things
/ one-night stands and them weekend flings
Settlin' down was never my style
/ never really thought about walkin' down the aisle
But darlin', that's exactly what
I'm thinkin' of
Yeah, this must be that thing / they
call love
chorus: Oh, I've heard about
it / and I've read about it
Now that I'm findin' out about it
/ I don't know how I lived without it
And there's a big ol' sun / shinin'
in the blue sky above
Well, this must be that thing / they
call love
3. You've got me where you want me
/ and that's right where I want to be
This ain't a feelin' that burns out
fast / it's the kind of love that really lasts
Oh, darlin' / there's one thing I'm
sure of
This must be that thing / they
call love
chorus: Oh, I've heard about
it / and I've read about it
Now that I'm findin' out about it
/ I don't know how I lived without it
And there's a big ol' sun / shinin'
in the blue sky above
Well, this must be that thing / they
call love
coda: This must be that thing
/ I can almost hear the wedding bells ring
This must be that thing / they call
love.
"This Must
Be That Thing" appears on the Steve Haggard CD,
