I was down on my luck
I was so sad and blue
I had given up hope
Till I happened ‘cross you
With just one single glance
I knew it was true
My world changed forever
That’s the thing about you

The way you comb your hair
The way you sip your tea
The way you smell so sweet
The way you look at me
It’s just the way you smile
It knocked me off my feet
And when you took my hand
It made my life complete

One look in your eyes
And I was born again
The ultimate surprise
I knew it even then
From now until forever
Until my life is through
It’s you and me together
That’s the thing about you

So when you’re down on your luck
Sure there’s no one for you
That is the very time
You’ll find the opposite is true
So pick yourself back up
Go find somebody new
‘Cause there’s someone who’s out there
And waiting for you

That’s the thing about love
When it happens to you
You never can know till
You suddenly do

The way you comb your hair
The way you sip your tea
The way you smell so sweet
The way you look at me
It’s just the way you smile
It knocked me off my feet
And when you took my hand
It made my life complete

And that my love is the thing about you
