Where Is The Love
Will Downing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love,
Where is the love

Where is the love
You said you'd give to me,
Soon as you were free,
Will it ever be
Where is the love?

You told me that you didn't love him
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie?

Where is the love
You said was mine all mine,
Till the end of time,
Was it just a lie
Where is the love?

If you had had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you had told me so
Don't leave me hangin' on to promises
You've got to let me know

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oooh
Oh how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait

That's all I can do (that's all I can do)
My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love
Where is the love, where is the love

You promised me love
You promised me love
Where is the love
Where is the love




Where
Where is the love
