What Is Love?

You won't find it in the rivers Won't find it up in the trees Won't even find it in the sky above Floating round on the breeze It ain't coming to your rescue It might not come at all Some people wait for a lifetime And they don't even get a call What is love, what is love What is love, tell me what is love You may find it in the fire of your heart That burns up from your soul But you gotta keep that fire alive For it to take a hold You may catch a glimpse of how it starts Somewhere out on the street As two people catch each other's gaze And their destinies meet What is love, what is love What is love, tell me what is love It could be waiting round the corner Could be hiding round the bend Might of left here on an early bus With somebody who was a friend A lot of people like to take it But not too many like to give Too many people are afraid of it And the places it likes to live It likes to live out in the open It's got the truth on its side And once it shows itself it won't back down Or run away and hide What is love, what is love What is love, tell me what is love
