What is this thing called love?

Ah, Joanna. What can one say to this? Here's one of my
my chief Authorities on love, Cole Porter:

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That?s why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

For a lot of purposes and with most people, wouldn't a
simple arms-length contract be better?
