Sugar Bayou Band - Funny Thing About Love Lyrics

Was it the midnight hour or the crescent moon
Or sweet magnolia made me speak too soon?
When I said I love you, you looked the other way
Can’t take it back—wish it was yesterday
There’s ‘bout a thousand words I coulda got away with
But the night blooming jasmine overtook my senses
& I know deep down you feel the same way too so
Kiss me boy and lay down your defenses
CHORUS
Well, it’s a hot summer night—cool river flowin’
And it’s a funny thing about love—
You can get there without knowing

We watched a comet dance across the southern sky
I saw the future right there in your eyes
So tell me now or tell me later—take your time or lead the way
But that silly grin says it all—there’s only one thing left to say
CHORUS
It’s a sunny spring morning, hot coffee flowin’
And it’s a funny thing about being in love—
You can get there without knowin’
BRIDGE
When I look back on that awkward night
The risk was well worth takin’
I took a leap of faith—and you did, too
Even if you were fakin’

When you reach that moment–it’s fish or cut bait
Wait a minute too long, it might be too late
Three simple words turn into so much more
When you know it’s right, it’s what you’re livin’ for
CHORUS
It’s a lazy winter day—storm clouds overflowin’
And it’s a funny thing about love—give it half a chance
It just keeps growin’
And it’s a funny thing about love—
You can get there without knowing
