I Want to Know What Love Is
Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case i need it when i'm older
This mountain i must climb
Feels like the world's upon my shoulders
Through the clouds i see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
I don't know if i can face it again
I can't stop now, i've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if i can face it again
Can't stop now, i've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me.
