Lyrics

Well I always knew
I was crazy for you
But now I know
You thrill me so
If this is love, it's fabulous.

Your lips close to mine
I get chills up my spin
And when we touch
I thrill so much
If this is love, it's fabulous.

Well, I've read in the book
About love and it's charms
But I never knew
'Til I held you in my arms,

When I hold you tight
I know, I know I'm right
'Cause only you
Can do what you do
If this is lover, it's fabulous.
