What Is Love
Take That Lyrics

And when you rise in the morning sun
I feel you touch my hand in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep you warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know you're the door to my barest soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall (When I fall)

And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love, how deep is your love? (Oh)
I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

You're the light
You're my life

(When I fall) And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools
They're breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Tudutudu (How deep is your love)
So, how deep is your love? (Tudutudu)
How deep is your love? (Tudutudu)(How deep is your love)

So, how deep is your love? (Tudutudu)
How deep is your love? (Tudutudu)

Line by Line Meaning

And when you rise in the morning sun
When you wake up and start your day

I feel you touch my hand in the pouring rain
I sense your presence even when we're apart

And the moment that you wander far from me
When you're not with me anymore

I wanna feel you in my arms again
I desire to be near you again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
You appear to me like a refreshing breeze on a warm day

Keep you warm in your love then you softly leave
I embrace your love but you eventually depart

And it's me you need to show
You must demonstrate your affection for me

How deep is your love?
How intense is your devotion?

How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
Just how much do you love me?

I really need to learn 'cause we're living in a world of fools
I desperately need to know as the world can be difficult to navigate

Breaking us down when they all should let us be
Others are trying to interfere with our love when they should just leave us alone
