It’s Got to Be Love Lyrics by Portia Nelson, Jack Cassidy (Actor)

On Your Toes (1952 Studio Cast)

[FRANKIE]
I love your eyes
But I wouldn't know the color
Aquamarine
Or emerald green
And if your hair
Couldn’t possibly be duller
The shade I see
Looks gold to me
That's how naive I've grown to be
Mais oui
It’s got to be love
It couldn't be tonsillitis
It feels like neuritis
But nevertheless it's love
Don't tell me the pickles and pie à la mode
You served me
Unnerved me
And made my heart a broken-down pump
It's gotta be love
It isn't thе morning after
That makes evеry rafter
Go spinnin' around above
I'm sure that it’s fatal, or why do I get
That sinking feeling?
I think that I’m dead
But nevertheless it's only love
[JUNIOR]
It’s gotta be love
It could have been fallen arches
Or too many starches
But nevertheless it's love
Don't tell me the lamp in the barbershop
Gave me sunstroke
With one stroke
You made me feel like yesterday's hash
[FRANKIE]
It’s gotta be love
It couldn't be indigestion
Beyond any question
I'm fluttery as a dove
[JUNIOR]
I've heard people say it's no worse than a cold
But oh, that fever
I'm burned to a crisp
[FRANKIE & JUNIOR]
But nevertheless it's only love
