[Verse 1]
Love, love will come find you
Just to remind you of who you are
Oh love, it will forsake you
Threaten to break you, take what you got

[Chorus]
Everybody laughs, everybody cries
Oh, it could hurt you, baby, but give it a little try
See, that's the thing about love

[Verse 2]
Friends, sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you, you can't give enough
Then life, it will embrace you, ha
Totally amaze you, so you don't give up

[Chorus]
Everybody laughs, everybody cries
Sure, it could hurt you, baby, but give it a little try
See, that's the thing about love

[Bridge]
Oh, tell me that I am not the only one that's going through it all
Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one going through it all
But it's time, oh, it's time for me to shine, hey
So, it's 'bout time, oh, it's time for me to shine
It's my time, said, it's my time, for me to shine, oh oh oh
Oh, it's my time, it's 'bout time for me to shine

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody laughs, and everybody cries
Sure, it could hurt you, baby
But give it a little try
'Cause that's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about
That's the thing about love
