(It must have been love, but it's over now) Lay a whisper on my pillow Leave the winter on the ground I wake up lonely, there's air of silence In the bedroom and all around (and all around) Touch me now I close my eyes And dream away It must have been love, but it's over now It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it's over now From the moment we touched till the time had run out Make-believing we're together That I'm sheltered by your heart But in and outside, I've turned to water Like a teardrop in your palm And it's a hard Winter's day I dream away It must have been love, but it's over now (It must have been love, but it's over now) It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without It must have been love, but it's over now (It must have been love, the wind blows) It's where the water flows It's where the wind blows It must have been love, but it's over now (It must have been love, but it's over now) It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it's over now (It must have been love, but it's over now) From the moment we touched till the time had run out Yeah, it must have been love, but it's over now (It must have been love, but it's over now) It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without It must have been love, but it's over now (The wind blows) It's where the water flows It's where the wind blows (It must have been love, but it's over now) But it's over now Now (It must have been love, but it's over now) (It must have been love, but it's over now) Now

A versão original de “It Must Have Been Love” foi lançada em 2 de dezembro de 1987 como “It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)”, criada a pedido da EMI Alemanha para um single natalino inteligente.
Para a trilha sonora de *Pretty Woman* (1990), a letra foi reescrita, removendo a referência ao Natal (“It’s a hard Christmas day” virou “It’s a hard winter’s day”) e cortando 24 segundos do final, gerando a versão que se tornou o maior sucesso da dupla.
Essa versão editada ficou duas semanas em primeiro lugar na Billboard Hot 100 em junho de 1990 e foi a segunda música mais tocada no Billboard Year‑End de 1990, atrás apenas de “Hold On” do Wilson Phillips.
Durante a turnê “Join the Joyride! World Tour” em 1991, Roxette gravou uma versão country da canção em Los Ángeles, que depois foi incluída no álbum *Tourism* (1992).
Uma versão em espanhol da gravação de *Pretty Woman* foi lançada na compilação *Baladas en Español* em 1996, mostrando a adaptação do sucesso para diferentes mercados linguísticos.
Uma performance ao vivo com arranjo orquestral, feita no concerto Night of the Proms de 2009, foi incluída no álbum de estúdio *Travelling* (2012).
