I Want To Know What Love Is
Foreigner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Ooh, ooh
Now this mountain I must climb
Through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
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 traveled so far to change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me
Oh, oh
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
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
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
(And I wanna feel) I wanna feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me
Let's talk about love (I wanna know what love is)
Love that you feel inside (I want you to show me)
And I'm feeling so much love (I wanna feel what love is)
No, you just cannot hide (I know you can show me)
Oh, oh
I wanna know what love is (let's talk about love)
I know you can show me
I wanna feel it too (I want to feel what love is)
I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
(Show me that it's real, yeah) I want to know what love is
I wanna know, oh, oh (I want you to show me)
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know (I wanna feel what love is)
I wanna feel

I've gotta take a little time
I need to take some time for introspection
A little time to think things over
To think about my life choices
I better read between the lines
I need to pay attention to details
In case I need it when I'm older
So I will be better prepared for the future
Now this mountain I must climb
I have a big challenge ahead
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
It's a huge responsibility
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Love is a guiding light in difficult times
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
Love is a source of comfort when everything seems bleak

Je suis fiere d'ĂȘtre de cette gĂ©nĂ©ration â€
J'avoue que les années 80 étaient les meilleures musicalement parlant..
Y'avait une morale sur des airs rythmĂ©s qui donnaient envie de s'Ă©clater đ
Cette chanson a toujours Ă©tĂ© ma prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©e, peut ĂȘtre mon cĂŽtĂ© Rebelle qui voulait vivre sa vie comme elle l'entendait, et tant pis si ça choquait đ
Dire que j'Ă©tais amoureuse de lui â€
C'Ă©tait une pĂ©riode oĂč on ne se prenait pas la tĂȘte, comme ĂȘtre Ă moto sans casque, fumer dans les lieux publics et j'en passe đ
Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens đą
