Where Is The Love?
Key Loch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Verse 1:

Come on baby, take my hand

We’ll walk that long and winding road and we’ll make a stand

In a circular world we all keep going round round round
On that slippery slope of life we're all bound to fall down

And then I say



Chorus 1:

Where is the love I’ve tried

Why all the heartaches and lies

But the world keeps moving on

It just keeps on moving on



Verse 2:

In a real live moment real love shown through

I pledged myself right then and there I belong to you

But girl you laughed right in my face I could have died

My poor old heart just fell apart when you said goodbye

And then I said ..



Chorus 2:

Where is the love, I tried

Why all the heartache and lies

But the world keeps movin on

It just keeps on movin on



Verse 3:

Now it’s ten years later , in a crowded room

I see your sad and lonely face all filled with gloom

You know I saw you standing there when I walked through the door

But our time is gone it’s over now, can’t be anymore



Chorus 3:

Where is the love, I tried

Why all the heartache and lies

But the world keeps movin on

It Just keeps on movin on



Verse 4:

You had your chance before, you blew it

You threw the game and we both knew it

I don’t have the time to go back through it

That time is gone

Love is a game that is hard to win

Especially when you bring it to an end

I don’t have the strength to begin again

So I’m saying so long





Where is the love x6
