I Want to Know What Love Is Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
[Verse 2]
Now, this mountain, I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Oh
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
[Outro]
(And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
(I wanna know what love is) The love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) And I'm feelin' so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) No, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me) Yeah
I wanna know what love is (Let's talk about love)
I want you to show me, I wanna feel
(I wanna feel what love is) And I know, and I know
I know you can show me (Yeah)
(I wanna know what love is) (I wanna know)
(I want you to show me) I wanna know, I wanna know, wanna know
(I wanna feel what love is) (I wanna feel)
(I know you can show me)
