Love is a wild bird that no one can tame and you'll waste your time trying to catch it
Nothing helps
Not threats or pleas
You may talk to me passionately...yet I'll pick a man who never said a word
That's love, that's love
Love is a gypsy child who never, never follows the rules
If you don't love me, I still might love you
And if I love you, watch out!
The bird you hoped to surprise beats its wings and flies away
Wait for love and you'll lose out
Give up and it will appear
Love's all around you, then it's gone, now it's back
Just when you think you've lost it, there it is
If I'm in love with you, don't ever try to spurn me
And if I love you, watch out!
