I Want To Know What Love Is
Gary Puckett Lyrics

I've gotta take a little time
I need to pause and reflect for a while

A little time to think things over
To carefully consider and evaluate my thoughts and feelings

I better read between the lines
To understand the hidden or implied meanings behind what I see or hear

In case I need it when I'm older
To gain wisdom and insight that may be useful in the future

Now this mountain I must climb
I am faced with a great challenge or difficulty

Feels like the world upon my shoulders
It feels incredibly burdensome and overwhelming

But through the clouds I see love shine
Despite the challenges, I still see the beauty and warmth of love

It keeps me warm as life grows colder
Love provides comfort and solace even in the midst of hardships

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I have experienced intense emotional suffering and distress

I don't know if I can face it again
I am uncertain if I have the strength to endure such pain once more

Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
I have come a long way and cannot give up at this point

To change this lonely life
In order to transform my isolated and solitary existence

I wanna know what love is
I desire to truly understand the essence of love

I want you to show me
I yearn for someone to demonstrate and teach me about love

I wanna feel what love is
I long to experience the depth and intensity of love

I know you can show me (Ooh)
I believe that you have the ability to guide and reveal love to me

I'm gonna take a little time
I will allocate some time for myself

A little time to look around me
To observe and appreciate the things and people in my surroundings

I've got nowhere left to hide
I have no place of concealment or escape anymore

It looks like love has finally found me
I am now being discovered and embraced by love

Let's talk about love
Let's engage in a discourse about the subject of love

Love that you feel inside
The love that resides within your heart and soul

And I'm feeling so much love
I am experiencing an abundance of love

Oh no, you just cannot hide
You cannot conceal or suppress your love

Ohh, I wanna know what love is
Ohh, I am eager to truly comprehend the nature of love

Love that you feel inside
The love that dwells within you

I wanna feel it
I desire to personally experience and sense it

I wanna feel it, too
I also want to participate in feeling the love

And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
And I am confident that you have the capability to demonstrate love to me

(Hold me back if I'm wrong, yeah)
(Restrain me if my assumptions are incorrect, yeah)

I wanna know
I have a strong desire to understand

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I have an intense yearning to fully comprehend

I want to feel
I aspire to experience

I wanna feel, I wanna feel
I intensely desire to feel

(Hold me back if I'm wrong, yeah)
(Restrain me if my assumptions are incorrect, yeah)

I wanna feel what love is
I long to truly understand and experience the essence of love

I know you can show me
I am confident that you possess the ability to reveal and demonstrate love to me
