[Verse 1: Jaymes Young]
Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong?
Give me a sign

Oh, I don't know, what can I do?
What else can I say?, it's up to you
I know we're one, just me and you
I can't go on

Overall Meaning

Jaymes Young's "What Is Love" is a reflective and questioning song that speaks to the confusion and pain that comes with a love that is unrequited. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song as Young expresses his frustration and confusion at why the person he loves is not there for him even though he has given them his love. He wonders aloud about what is right and wrong and asks for a sign or some sort of indication of what he should do.


The hook, which is repeated throughout the song, references the iconic Haddaway song "What Is Love" and asks the same question. It's clear that Young is looking for answers and is struggling to understand his own emotions as well as the other person's.


In the second verse, Young seems resigned to his fate and admits that he doesn't know what else he can say or do. He acknowledges that they are one, but if the other person doesn't feel the same way, he can't continue the one-sided relationship.


The final verse echoes the sentiment of the other verses but also expresses Young's desire for the other person. He wants no other lover but this person and feels that they have their whole lives ahead of them to explore their love. The hook repeats again, emphasizing the sentiment that lingers throughout the song.


Overall, "What Is Love" is a heartfelt and relatable song that speaks to the pain and confusion that can come with unrequited love. It's a song about searching for answers and understanding, something that we can all relate to at one time or another.
