[Verse 1]
It's the way you're nervous when you speak
And the way I know just what you mean
It's the kind of thing that's bittersweet
It's a funny feelin’ deep inside
So many different sides
But still so easy to define
‘Cause you'll know it every time
And its not just in your mind
You can feel the butterflies
Sending chills down your spine
[Chorus]
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
Oh, that's love (Oh, that’s love)
[Verse 2]
And the things that never cross your mind
Now you're doin’ all of the time
‘Cause with someone special it's so right
It's like dancin’ when you walk
And singing’ when you talk
And you're happy just to be alive
Live in the moment, don't pretend
Let it go or take it in
You don't have to understand
The how, why and whens
[Chorus]
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run (A safe place to run)
What is love? (What is love?)
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you (Oh)
The number one (The number one)
[Bridge]
So take off your hat and stay for a minute
Love is a precious thing if you let it in
You'll never know what you'll find
Till you give it some time, some time
[Chorus]
What is love? (What is love?)
But a kiss on a rainy day (A kiss on a rainy day)
A smile that won't go away (A smile that won't go away)
A safe place to run (A safe place to run)
What is love? (Oh)
But a complicated simple truth (Complicated simple truth)
A bond between me and you
The number one (The number one)
Oh, that's love
[Outro]
It’s that first kiss
It’s the way you feel in summer (Oh, that’s love)
It’s that one wish you always make, over and over
That first kiss
It’s the way you feel in summer (What is love?)
It’s that one wish you always make, over and over (What is love?)
That first kiss
It’s the way you feel in summer (What is love?)
One wish you always make, over and over (What is love?)
What is love?, what is love?
