I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

Music & Lyrics by Mick Jones
Released August 28, 2009; Single from the album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel


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 colder
Hey

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 traveled 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

Gonna take a little time
(Gonna take a little time)
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love's finally found me

Ooh 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 traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I want to know what love is, ooh
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
Feel What Love Is
I know you can show me
Show me
I want to know, ooh

I want to know what love is. ooooh
I want you to show me
And I'm feeling so much love
I want to feel what love is
And I know you can show me, hey hey
I want to know what love is
Oh, let's talk about love
I want you to show me
