What Is Love?
Play Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the way you're nervous when you speak
The way I know just what you mean
It's the kind of thing that's bitter sweet
It's the funny feeling deep inside
So many different sides but still so easy to define
Cause you know it every time and not just in your mind
But you can feel the butterflies
Sendin' chills down your spine
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
Uh that's love
And the things that never cross your mind
You're doin' all of the time
It's with someone special, it's alright
It's like dancing when you walk
And singing when you talk
Your happy just to be alive
But in the mornin',
Don't pretend,
Let it go and take it in
You don't have to understand
The how, why, and when's
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one
So take off your hat and stay for a minute
Love is a precious thing if you let it
In you'll never know what you'll find till you give it,
Sometime, sometime
What is love? (what is love? Yeah)
But a kiss on a rainy day (a kiss on a rainy day)
A smile that won't go away (a smile that won't go away)
A safe place to run
What is love? (what is love?)
But a complicated simple truth (a simple truth)
A bond between me and you (between me and you)
The number one
What is love? (what is love?)
But a kiss on a rainy day (a kiss on a raining day)
A smile that won't go away (a smile that won't go away)
A safe place to run (a safe place to run)
What is love? (what is love?)
But a complicated simple truth (a simple truth)
A bond between me and you (between me and you)
The number one (the number one)
All that's love (all that's love)
What is love
Wat is love?
It's a kiss on a rainy day




Oh that's love
Ohh oh ohhh
