In the blink of an eye at the drop of a hat 
We went from zero to love in nothing flat
And you smiled at me and before I knew
I was head over heal for you
(Love happens like that)
It steals your heart like a thief in the night
(Love happens like that)
You can run but you can't hide
(Love happens like that)
Before you know it there ain't no turning back
Love happens like that

Call it destiny, call it love at first sight
Call it meant to be I'd say you're right
I never dreamed that just one kiss 
Could make me feel like this
(Love happens like that)

It steals your heart like a thief in the night
(Love happens like that)
And you can run but you can't hide
(Love happens like that)
Before you know it there ain't no turning back
Love happens like that
In a heartbeat it can turn your world around, just like that
(Love happens like that)
It steals your heart like a thief in the night
(Love happens like that)
You can run but you can't hide
(Love happens like that)

Before you know it there ain't no turning back
Just like that, love happens like that

It steals your heart like a thief in the night
(love happens, love happens, love happens just like that)
You can run but you can't hide
(love happens, love happens, love happens just like that)
Love happens just like that
(love happens, love happens, love happens just like that)
(love happens, love happens, love happens just like that)
