I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me (and I wanna feel)
I want to feel what love is (and I know)
I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
I want to know what love is
The love that you feel inside
I want you to show me
I'm feeling so much love
I want to feel what love is
No, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me
I want to know what love is (let's talk about love)
I want you to show me
I wanna feel it, too
I want to feel what love is
I wanna feel it, too
And I know and I know
I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I want to know what love is
I want to know
I want you to show me
