Love comes unbidden Can't be forbidden It takes you and shakes you Right down to your shoes It knows heartache and trial But accepts no denial You can't choose who you love Love chooses you In the wink of an eye Love loses an arrow We control it no more Than the flight of the sparrow The swell of the tide Or the light of the moon You can't choose who you love Love chooses you Tell me now if I'm wrong Are you feelin' the same? Are your feet on the ground? Are you callin' my name? Do you lie awake nights? Please say you do 'Cause you can't choose who you love Love chooses you Love cuts like a torch To a heart behind steel
And though you may hide it Love knows how you feel And though you may trespa** On the laws of the land Your heart has to follow When love takes your hand And it seems we're two people Within the same circle It's drawn tighter and tighter Till you're all that I see I'm full and I'm empty And you're pourin' through me Like a warm rain fallin' Through the leaves on a tree Tell me now if I'm wrong Are you feelin' the same? Are your feet on the ground? Are you callin' my name? Do you lie awake nights? Please say you do 'Cause you can't choose who you love Love chooses you No, you can't choose who you love Love chooses you
