Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is the love
Your mood all around me
You give me such a hard time
You think you might change me
But you're leaving all your love at the back of your heart
Such a hard time
Oh can't you see won't you leave out
You're treating me like dirt but tell me
Where is the love
Won't you tell me
Where is the love
That we once knew
Where is the love
Won't you tell me
Where is the love
That we once shared together
Ooh, where is the love?
How much more will you give me
How much more can I take
You expect me to forgive you
But it's building up inside and I'm gonna break
Such a hard time
You're giving me, such a hard time
Oh can't you see
Won't you leave it out
You're treading on my heart
So tell me, take me
Take me away from here
Our lives are far from clear
We live in fear
Take me away
Take me away from here
Tell me, tell me
Where the love is
Tell me, tell me
Where the love is...
