Let Me Tell You About Love
The Judds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well ever since the day that time began
There's been this thing 'tween a woman and a man
We'll, I don't know but I do believe
It started in the garden with Adam and Eve
Sampson and Delilah had their fling
'Til she cut his hair and clipped his wing
It don't matter how the story's told
Love stays young it can't grow old

[Chorus]
Let me tell you about love
About the moon and stars above
It's what we've all been dreamin' of
Let me tell you about love

Well, Bonaparte and Josephine
I believe they had a pretty good scene
Until she said Bonnie boy, we're through
That's when he met his Waterloo
Julie baby and Romeo
Fell in love and stole the show
I know they are history
But there ain't been nothin' like you and me

[Chorus]

Now Sheba she was a beauty queen
The purtiest thing that you ever have seen
Solomon he was a mighty wise
Sheba she done caught his eye
The world would be in a dreadful fix
If it wasn't for the love between the cats and chicks
The world wouldn't amount to much
Without a hug and a kiss and a tender touch

[Chorus]

Let me tell you about love




Let me tell you about love
Yeah
