Lovers of today are unlike lovers of the past
They used to find a way to get a love affair to last
I saw him leaving -- that's all I had to see
If seeing is believing, then love's a mystery
Love's a mystery

It'll rise without a warning, leaving evidence and clues
Making headlines in the morning, then it's history
Love's a mystery
But I'd do it again
I'd do it again

Lovers of today are becoming too well-versed
You get the feeling you're onstage badly unrehearsed
We had the moves down so perfectly
I guess that all it proves is love's a mystery
Love's a mystery

It'll rise without a warning, making evidence and clues
Making headlines in the morning, then it's history
Love's a mystery
But I'd do it again
I'd do it again

A multiple offender should learn from his mistakes
I am ready to surrender if that's what it takes
I waited our time; I'm still in custody
If lovin' is a crime, love's a mystery
But I'd do it again
I'd do it again

It'll rise without a warning, leaving evidence and clues
Makin' headlines in the morning, then it's history
Love's a mystery

Love's a mystery
