Where Is The Love
Craig David feat. Tinchy Stryder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was lusting for it when it all began
I was in my zone, busy making plans
I was minding my own, you were walking past
Only a moment, but there was something

Didn't know what I was feeling
But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins
The message in the meaning
When you hear two hearts are beating the same

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh

Yeah, I looked before but I was far too scared
But I found my feet on the ground right there
It's like you looked inside my head, knew all my past regrets
Gave me your healing, some kind of freedom

Didn't know what I was feeling
But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins
The message in the meaning
When you hear two hearts are beating the same

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh

I was in the dark
I was in my own ways
Lonely little heart
You feel, you feel it someday
Should have known it from the start
It's okay when, okay when you hear two hearts are beating the same

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh
When you know what love is (know what love is)
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control (Oh)

When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go, oh-oh

When you know what love is




When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go

Overall Meaning

The song "Where Is The Love?" by Craig David featuring Tinchy Stryder talks about finding love unexpectedly and being unable to let go of it once you know what it feels like. The lyrics describe how the singer was not actively looking for love but stumbled upon it and found themselves swept away by the intense emotions they felt. The adrenaline rush and message in the lyrics show the passion and depth of the feeling that comes with being in love, which is often beyond the control of the person experiencing it.


The song touches on the idea that love can be scary and overwhelming, but ultimately, it is worth holding onto once you have found it. The chorus repeats the phrase "When you know what love is, you can't afford to let go," implying that once you have discovered what true love feels like, you cannot walk away from it easily. The lyrics also suggest a sense of vulnerability, acknowledging that the heart has been lonely and searching for someone to connect with.
