I Guess This Is Love

mixed up and mystified in truth is how I feel inside

I lose all concentration everywhere flittingly
and my imagination takes to flight, try as hard as I might, it keeps wandering free
it just dallies and dances, as with never a care
simply following fancies where they float in the air
so I guess this is love
well, I guess this is love
I suppose this is love
yeah

I am not in possession of my full faculties
it's as if some obsession has control of my body and soul, and they do as they please
over hill, brook and hollow sounds a beckoning voice
and I merely must follow that which leaves me no choice
so I guess this is love
well, I guess this is love
I suppose this is love
yeah

there is something unknown, unplanned, that has taken full hold of me

glued in a fixed gawping gaze
staring at the beauty on parade in those skies
mantled in some luminous haze
could this be that thing they call now 'Stars in Your Eyes' ?

there's trembling inside me, and peace is denied me
hesitant, heedful, oh but I'm needful
God be my witness, I don't want to live alone

I am restless, I'm all over the place
I am helpless, spread and sprawled out in space
I am moonstruck, an incurable case

wherefore ask the physician canst thou not cure thyself ?
I have no propositon for my plot for I simply am not in command of myself
from the inside emerges that which will not keep still
demi-monde demi-urges that I long to fulfil
so I guess this is love
yes, I guess this is love
I suppose this is love
this is what they call love
I presume this is love
let's assume this is love
this has got to be love
yeah

mixed up and mystified in truth is how I feel inside
