[Intro: Darkchild, Brandy]
The definition, definition
Whoo, whoo
The definition
Feels good, real good
Yeah, Darkchild
[Verse 1]
I've dropped all that baggage
Let go of that habit
The pain, you can have it
'Cause now, I'm content with me
I'm loving this skin
And I got a good man
Feels like the beginning
Now I'm content with me
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to explain it
Been through it, you name it
The heartache and break
And the shame played a game
But I, couldn't seem to win
I started to think
Something was wrong with me
Till I was finally introduced to happy
[Chorus]
I've made the greatest discovery of mankind
You define the existence of love
And I found it in you
Searched my whole life through
So rare, but so true
The definition of love is you
[Post-Chorus]
The definition
Baby, you are (It is you)
The definition
Baby, you are
[Verse 2]
I traded that frown in
Bought me a brand new smile
I'm wearing it proudly
'Cause now, I'm content with me
No longer uncertain
I'm sure of the verdict
I'm free and I love it
'Cause now, I'm content with me
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to explain it
Been through it, you name it (Yeah)
The heartache and break
And the shame played a game
But I, couldn't seem to win (I couldn't seem to win)
I started to think (I started to think, yeah)
Something was wrong with me (Yeah)
Till I was finally introduced to happy (Oh, I've made it)
[Chorus]
I've made the greatest discovery of mankind (Yeah, and you define)
You define the existence of love
And I found it in you (I found it in you)
Searched my whole life through (Searched my whole life through)
So rare, but so true (Ooh)
The definition of love is you (Of love)
[Post-Chorus]
The definition
Baby, you are (It is you)
The definition
Baby, you are
[Bridge]
'Cause I'd been digging for years
Barely seeing past the tears
'Cause I thought my heart had disappeared
But until you, came into my life
Made me anew
Showed me the truth, yeah
[Chorus]
I've made the greatest discovery of mankind (Of mankind)
You define the existence of love (You define)
And I found it in you (I found it in you)
Searched my whole life through (My whole life through)
So rare, but so true
The definition of love is you
I've made the greatest discovery of mankind
You define the existence of love (You define)
And I found it in you
Searched my whole life through
So rare, but so true
The definition of love is you (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
The definition
Baby, it is you (Baby, you are)
The definition (Whoa-oh)
Baby, it is you (Oh yeah)
The definition
Baby, it is you
The definition (Ay-yeah)
I'm defined by you, yeah
