I Want to Know What Love Is Lyrics:
I've gotta take a little time,
A little time to think things over...
I'd better read between the lines,
In case I'll need it when I'm over...

Now this mountain I must climb,
Feels like the world upon my shoulder...
Through the clouds I see love shine,
It keeps me warm as life grows colder,

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...

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'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...

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...

I wanna know what love is,
I want you to show me!
I wanna feel what love is,
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 feeling 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 it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...
