i know strange to ask this question
but everytime i think i know the answer
i find out that i am wrong to mention
how i feel for you cuz you're so much shallower
i don't know if i'll ever understand
but i wonder if someone can please tell me
what is love and how to withstand
this pain in my heart that is causing me to wilt
i wonder constantly if i will ever find the one
that is so special that can give me love
a love to last a lifetime
and can keep me safe from most of my pain
someone that will care about the real me
and not what they want me to be
oh can someone please tell me
what is love
what is that feeling everyone calls love
does it always leave you in pain
constantly torturing you until all you want
is that special one in your life
to hold you close and dry your tears
ease your pain and relieve your fears
oh bother.........why do i try to understand on my own
oh someone please tell me
what is love
