Mica Paris And Will Downing 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
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 had had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you had told 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
Oooh
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 (that's all I can do)
My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
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
You promised me love
You promised me love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where
Where is the love
The lyrics of Mica Paris & Will Downing's song "Where is the Love?" are about a person who has been promised love by their partner but is now questioning the validity of those promises. The song starts with the repeated question, "Where is the love?" as the singer wonders where the love they were promised is. They had been told that they would receive love as soon as their partner was free, but it remains elusive, and they question if it will ever come.
The singer then confronts their partner, saying that they were told that they didn't love someone else and were going to say goodbye. However, if that was not true, why did they feel the need to lie? They were promised a love that was theirs till the end of time. They wonder if those promises of love were just lies. If their partner had a sudden change of heart, they wanted to know, so they wouldn't have to cling to unfulfilled promises.
In the end, the singer laments their fate of falling in love with someone else's love and can only wait for the love they were promised, which may or may not ever come.
