Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm, whoa, whoa, whoa
When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through
You know you're missin' out on something
Well, that something depends on you
[PreChorus]
It takes a lot to love you (All I'm sayin')
You know it's true (All I'm doin')
There's one thing, yes, one thing (All I mean now)
That turns this gray sky to blue
[Chorus]
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
[Verse 2]
When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye)
When your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for living's your reason for leaving
Don't ask me what it means
[PreChorus]
I don't know the answer to that question (Who got the look?)
If I knew, I would tell you (Where's the look?)
Look, for your information (What's the look?)
Yes, there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?)
[Chorus]
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
[Bridge]
Mmm, mmm, mmm
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love (That's the look, that's the look, look of love)
[Verse 3]
If you judge a book by the cover
Then you judge the look by the lover
I hope you'll soon recover
Me, I go from one extreme to another
[Outro]
And all my friends just might ask me
They say, Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love
And I say maybe, there must be a solution to
The one thing, the one thing we can't find
[Outro]
Sisters and brothers (That's the look, that's the look)
Should help each other (That's the look, that's the look)
Ooh, ooh-hoo, Heavens above (That's the look, that's the look)
Hip-hip hooray (That's the look, that's the look)
Yippie-yi-yippie-yi-ay-ay (That's the look, that's the look)
(That's the look, that's the look, be lucky in love) Look of love
