One of a kind love affair is
The kind of love that you read about in a fairy tale
Like the sun that shines on a rainy day, its a cloud of love 
One of a kind love affair is
When your down is up, when your up is down
But love stays around
And when you know you're right, but you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
Who-oh-oh-oh, yeah
I never thought about today would come
When she would leave without good-bye, yes, sir.
She wrote a line or two upon the wall 
Said, I'm leaving you, know I love you too
I can't stay with you 
And this very day, I could never say a discouraging word
'Cause I love you 
Who-oh-oh-oh, yes, siree, now
(One of a kind) love affair is
When you hate to say girl I told you so, but you gotta go
There won't be a fight, 'cause your love is right
But you're leaving wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
(One of a kind) ooh (love affair is) Ooh yeah
When you treat her nice but you finally have to pay the price
And though you know you're right
But you got to make a little sacrifice
You make it for love
You make it for love
Yeah-heh-heh-heh
 
One of a kind love affair is
Makes you want to love her, you just have to hurt her, yeah
One of a kind, one of a kind, love affair is
Makes a lame man walk, makes a blind man talk about seein' again
(One of a kind) ooh-oh (love affair is) my-hy
It makes you me want to be around ya, Ah, girl, I'm glad I found you
(One of a kind) wooh-ee, baby (love affair is) I want to tell you now
Every day is sunshine, girl, you're on my mind
One of a kind, one of a kind love affair is
Makes me want to, want to be with you
