Ah, but is it love?
This fatal fascination
Is such a sweet sensation
But is it love, really love?

Mmm, I must admit
My heart with joy is beating
And yet it keeps repeating
But is it love?

Though your eyes confess
And your sighs confess
And you arms seem ready to adore
Though it looks like love
And it feels like love
Still I’ve had such evidence before

And, Mmm, your kiss is sweet
And your embrace is tender
It may be sweet surrender
But is it love?
