Love Is A Swingin' Thing

The Shirelles


Yes love, love, love, love, love is a swingin' thing 
It's a swingin' thing 
Makes you laugh, makes you cry 
Makes you live, makes you die 
'Cause love is such a swingin' thing 

(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"): 
Take a look in the sky; I see 2 little birdies flyin' by 
Don't wonder why, they have all the joys love can bring 
'Cause love is a swingin' thing 

Say you need my lips (come on, come on) come on 
Say you want my heart (come on, come on) come on 
Say you need my love (come on, come on, come on) come on 
I may be young today, but tomorrow I will be grown 

(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"): 
Some people say love, love ain't this, that, & nothin' I don't lie 
There is no other 
I don't need a wedding gown, I don't need a diamong ring 
'Cause I dig love; it's such a swingin' thing; you tell 'em, girls 

(instrumental) 

(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"): 
Some people say love, love takes all of your new kissing in the head 
Well, I think it's cute 
No more, & I'll take a little chance 
I'm gonna have a fling 
'Cause I dig love; it's such a swingin' thing
