Lyrics

The Riddle

If I could have just one thing
It wouldn't be a shiny gold ring
Or a bucket full of money
Not even a barrel full of honey, ooh, ooh

Lot's of people have it
Others never find it
Very few can keep it
Everybody wants it

I'm talking 'bout ... ba, ba, ba, ba
I'm talking 'bout ... da, da, de, do
I'm talking 'bout ... la, la, la, la
I'm talking 'bout ... ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If I could have just one thing
It wouldn't be Paris in the spring
Not even a big old mansion
Or a famous invention, ooh, ooh
It wouldn't be a brand new car
I don't even need a Hollywood star
Not even a Grammy, a beach house in Miami
A thousand acre farm or a model on my arm

Lot's of people have it
Others never find it
Very few can keep it
Everybody wants it

I'm talking 'bout ... ba, ba, ba, ba
I'm talking 'bout ... da, da, de, do
I'm talking 'bout ... la, la, la, la
I'm talking 'bout ... ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Four little letters can break your heart, or make your dreams come true
You can take it or give it, lose it or live it - should I spell it for you?

L - Lot's of people have it
O - Others never find it
V - Very few can keep it
E - Everybody wants it (repeat)

I'm talking 'bout love - ba, ba, ba, ba
I'm talking 'bout love - da, da, de, do
I'm talking 'bout love - la, la, la, la
I'm talking 'bout love - ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (repeat)
