Ain't Love the Damnedest Thing? Lyrics

Ain't love the damnedest thing?

The heart will boggle at the possibilities

The tongue will trepidate, did I mention the knees? It's all

Consuming when the act itself is looming

Monsieur, Madame, ain't love the damnedest thing?

The most delicious of the vices is desire

And the addicted always kindle their own fire

The embers crackle underneath our cultured airs

Beneath our cool, sophisticated derrières

Ain't love the damnedest thing?

The crows will nudge each other, wink and have a laugh

As blind and naked we traipse down the garden path, and once you

Go there, well, you ain't going nowhere

The gates have slammed, ain't love the damnedest thing?

Who would believe a buzz could carry such a sting?

What kind of god would cook up such a cunning thing?

Who would've known a high could lay someone so low?

If you're in for an ounce, my friend, you're in for a kilo

Ain't love the damnedest thing?

And you, my darling, are the darkest valentine

By far the sweetest of misfortunes to be mine, I love you

Dearly, but then I'm not thinking clearly

You are, I am… and love's the damnedest thing
