I Want To Know What Love This
Foreigner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older
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
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
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
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
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far, to change this lonely life
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
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, I want to know what love is
The love that you feel inside, I want you to show me
And I'm feeling so much love, I want to feel what love is
No, you just can't hide, I know you can show me
I want to know what love is (let's talk about love), I know you can show me
I want to feel it too, I want to feel what love is
I want to feel it too, and I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah, I want to know what love is

Je suis fiere d'être de cette génération ❤
J'avoue que les années 80 étaient les meilleures musicalement parlant..
Y'avait une morale sur des airs rythmés qui donnaient envie de s'éclater 😊
Cette chanson a toujours été ma préférée, peut être mon côté Rebelle qui voulait vivre sa vie comme elle l'entendait, et tant pis si ça choquait 😂
Dire que j'étais amoureuse de lui ❤
C'était une période où on ne se prenait pas la tête, comme être à moto sans casque, fumer dans les lieux publics et j'en passe 😂
Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens 😢
