Lyrics
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts
One day can be there forever
The next is a thing of the past
Now listen to this
I fell in love with a sweet little girl once
She was everything a woman should be (yes, she was, yes, she was)
Did everything to find if she was wrong
But it seemed she loved only me (ooh)
She gave me some pretty good things
Somethings I couldn't get from my own dear mother
I had to go 'way for just a few days
When I returned, she'd gone off with my brother
I was drivin' and I didn't see it coming, no
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day ya wanna hold on forever
The next you wanna let it go (it can be like that sometimes)
There's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' as long as it lasts (you gotta make it last)
One day can be there forever
The next is a thing of the past
Yeah
Once I knew this rich man
He treated his woman like a queen (yes, he did, yes, he did)
He gave the woman everything she needed
He kept her lookin'so fine and clean (ooh)
He had so much faith in her
His love he never had to check out
But he had to go see a man about a dog one day
And when he got back he found she'd shimmied out
I tried to tell ya, boy, you wouldn't listen to me
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you gotta let it go
Listen, there ain't nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There ain't nothin' as long as it lasts
But one day you wanna hold on forever
The next is a thing of the past
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, woo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, woo, woo, woo
La, da, da, da, da, da, ooh, woo, ooh
There's no business like love business
There's no business I know
One day you wanna hold on forever
The next you gotta let it go
Ain't no business (ain't no business) like love business (love business)
Ain't no business I know (ain't no business that I know)
One day you wanna hold on to it
The next you wanna let it go
Yeah, there's nothin' shakin' like love makin'
There's nothin' shakin' (nothin' shakin') as long as it lasts (that I know)
Ain't no business like love business
There ain't no business I know
(Ah, show business is ain't like love business) ain't no business, love business
Ain't no business like I know...
