Where Is the Love
Jesse & Trina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love
You said you'd give to me
Soon as you were free
Where is the love
You told me that you didn't love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie
Where is the love
You said was mine all mine
Till the end of time
Was it just a lie
Where is the love
If you have had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hangin' on to promises
You've got to let me know
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh, how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait
That's all I can do, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love (Where is the love)
