  • Don't have to humble yourself to me
    I ain't your judge or your king
    And baby, you know you ain't no Queen of Sheba
    And we may not even have our dignity, no
    This could be just a prideful thing
    But baby, we can choose you know,
    we ain't no amoebas
    But

    [Chorus]
    Are you ready for this thing called love
    Don't come from you and me,
    It comes from up above
    I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
    Are you ready for this thing called love

    And you ain't some icon carved out of soap
    Sent down here to clean up my reputation
    And baby, I ain't your prince charming
    Now we can live in fear, or act out of hope
    For some kind of peaceful situation
    Baby, don't know why the cry of love is so alarming
    But

    [Chorus]

    The ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
    And glide off down the lake
    Whether your sunglasses are off or on
    You only see the world you make

    Before the laws of God and the laws of man
    I take you for my wife, yeah
    To love, honor, cherish and obey,
    Now, I didn't have no plans to live
    this kind of life, no
    It just worked out that way
    And

    [Chorus: x2]

    Just a crazy little thing called love
    Its justs a crazy little thing called love Writer/s: John Hiatt
