I know that you''re curious,

So don''t be serious,

You know there''s no cause for alarm.



When you''re down - out

Left here in doubt,

All the things that are right will go wrong.



Love is a state of mind,

It''s keepin'' us both alive,

Sometimes it''s hard to find.

Love''s in a state of mind.



Wait just a minute,

You know that it''s finished,

So don''t you go carry it on.



Cause I''m down - out

Left here in doubt,

Well, we try but we can''t get along.



Love is a state of mind,

It''s keepin'' us both alive,

Sometimes it''s hard to find.

Love''s in a state of mind.
