What About Love
Morissette Amon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart
You've been hiding - never letting it
show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On your way to the top
But there's something that you forgot
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about
you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it some day
I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want
to buy
Something's missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about
you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about
you
What about love
Don't let it slip away




What about love
I only want to share it with you
