Duke Ellington
Isn’t Love The Strangest Thing
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Isn't love the strangest thing?
It makes you cry
It makes you sing
Lifts you up and then
Lets you down again
Isn't love the strangest thing?
Like a birdie on the wing
Love makes you feel just like a king
Then another time, you feel just like a dime
Isn't love the strangest thing?

[Bridge]
Love can really hypnotize you
Sweep you off your feet, it's true
Strange how love can tantalize you
It happened to me
Has it happened to you?

[Verse 2]
Winter, summer, autumn, spring
One never knows what love can bring
Wise men of today
All shake their heads and say
"Isn't love the strangest thing"
[Instrumental]
