Six foot six stood on the ground,
weighted 235 pounds
But I saw that giant of a man
brought down to his knees by love

He was the kind of man
who would gamble on love
Look you in the eye
and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup
because of love

Can't see it with your eyes,
hold it in your hands
Like the rules that govern our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of every man,
this thing called love

It can lift you up,
it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found
stronger than love

Men like me they worry and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy a livin' to worry
about a thing called love

And then I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I say thank God this world will win
with the thing called love

Can't see it with your eyes,
hold it in your hands
Like the rules that govern our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of every man,
this thing called love

It can lift you up,
it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found
stronger than love
