What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor?
Fortune and fame they never endure
Love is the thing, love is the thing

What good is money if your heart isn't light?
Here in your arms I'm wealthy tonight
While youth has its fling, love is the thing

While others fight for power
We can stroll among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that's free, love, for you and me

And even though our castles crumble and fall
We'll have the right to laugh at it all
For love is still king, love is the thing

While everybody fights for power
We can stroll among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that's free, love, for you and me

Though our castles crumble and fall
We'll have the right to laugh at it all
For love is still king, love is the thing
