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

[Verse 2]

This mountain I must climb

Feels like the world upon my shoulders

But through these clouds I see love shine

It keeps me warm as life grows colder

[Verse 3]

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 traveled so far

To change this lonely life

[Verse 4]

I wanna know what love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel what love is

I know you can show me

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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 traveled so far

To change this lonely life

[Verse 7]

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 wanna know what love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel

I wanna feel what love is

And I know

I know you can show me

Let's talk about love

[Verse 8]

I wanna know what love is

Love and how it feels inside

I want you to show me

And I feel it so much now

I want you feel what love is

You just can't hide

I know you can show me

Come on and show me

[Verse 9]

I wanna know

I wanna know what love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel

I wanna feel what love is

Sing the words real slow and clear

I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel what love is

And I know I know

I know you can show me

[Verse 10]

I wanna love

I wanna know what love is

What love is

I want you to show me

I wanna feel what love is

I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is

And I know

I want you to show me

I wanna feel, I wanna feel, I wanna feel

I wanna feel what love is

I wanna feel

I know you can show me

Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know

I wanna know
