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
Oh, oh, oh
[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
[PreChorus]
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 travelled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me
Oh, 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
[PreChorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me, and I want to feel
I want to feel what love is, and I know
I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is (Love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me (I'm feeling so much love)
I want to feel what love is (No, you just cannot hide)
I know you can show me
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is (Let's talk about love)
I want you to show me (I want to feel it)
I want to feel what love is (And I know, And I know)
I know you can show me (Show me love is real, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I want to know what love is (I want to know)
I want you to show me (I want to know, I want to know, I want to know)
I want to feel what love is (I want to feel)
I know you can show me
