What is this thing called love? <br> This funny thing called love? <br> Just who can solve this mystery? <br> Why should it make a fool of me?

If you want to buy my wares <br> Follow me and climb the stairs … <br> Love for sale.
Cole Porter, CC BY-SA 4.0
Night and day, you are the one <br/>Only you beneath the moon<br/>Under the sun <br/> Whether near to me or far<br/>It's no matter, darlin', where you are<br/>I think of you night and day.

There's an, oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me.
Cole Porter, CC BY-SA 4.0
</p>Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above. <br> Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love <br> Don't fence me in</p><p> Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze <br> And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees <br> Send me off forever but I ask you please <br> Don't fence me in</p>
Cole Porter, CC BY-SA 4.0
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences <br> And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses <br> I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences <br> Don't fence me in
