True Love
Beverley Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before you open up to speak
Think of what your saying to me
Oh, don't say things just to be with me
My heart only deals in honesty
Look into my soul
And tell me that forever I can hope
That we'll always be together
'Cause heaven knows

If it ain't true, love's not worth the trouble
If it ain't true, it's no more than a lie
If it ain't true, baby, then who needs the heartache
Aren't we all just looking to find true love

It doesn't really make much sense
To question every consequence I know, oh I know
'Cause I've already fallen in
And nothing feels as good as holding you close
Some do it for the rush
Some do it for the thrill of any touch
But baby all I do it for is love, your love, but

If it ain't true, love's not worth the trouble
If it ain't true, it's no more than a lie
If it ain't true, baby, then who needs the heartache
Aren't we all just looking to find true love

It's the kind that don't come easy
If we give ourselves completely
We will see all that we can be now, but

If it ain't true, love's not worth the trouble
If it ain't true, it's no more than a lie
If it ain't true, baby, then who needs the heartache
Aren't we all just looking to find true love





Aren't we all just looking to find
Aren't we all just looking to find, true love

Line by Line Meaning

Before you open up to speak
Think carefully about what you want to say


Think of what your saying to me
Consider how your words will affect me


Oh, don't say things just to be with me
Don't say things just to please me


My heart only deals in honesty
I value honesty above all else


Look into my soul
See the essence of who I am


And tell me that forever I can hope
Promise me that our love will last forever


That we'll always be together
That we will never be apart


'Cause heaven knows
Because it is essential


If it ain't true, love's not worth the trouble
False love is not worth the effort


If it ain't true, it's no more than a lie
Love must be genuine to be real


If it ain't true, baby, then who needs the heartache
Why should we suffer for a love that is not true?


Aren't we all just looking to find true love
Isn't finding true love what we all desire?


It doesn't really make much sense
There is no point in doubting our love


To question every consequence I know, oh I know
To doubt the outcome of our love is pointless


'Cause I've already fallen in
I am already deeply in love


And nothing feels as good as holding you close
Being close to you is the best feeling in the world


Some do it for the rush
Some people pursue love for the thrill of it


Some do it for the thrill of any touch
Others pursue love for physical pleasure


But baby all I do it for is love, your love, but
I pursue love for the sake of love alone


It's the kind that don't come easy
This kind of love is hard to find


If we give ourselves completely
If we fully commit to each other


We will see all that we can be now, but
We will realize our full potential together


Aren't we all just looking to find true love
Isn't true love what we are all searching for?


Aren't we all just looking to find
We are all searching for


Aren't we all just looking to find, true love
True love is what we all want to find
