[Verse 1]
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
But she won't catch me or break my fall
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a raincloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

[Chorus]
I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

[Verse 2]
I wanted to run, but she made me crawl
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

[Chorus]
I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

[Verse 3]
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this, I'm a rain-cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

[Outro]
Dudu dudu dudu dudu dudu du dududu dudu (x2)

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
