It's the way you're nervous when you speak,
And the way I know just what you mean
It's the kind of thing that's bittersweet
It's the funny feeling deep inside
So many different sides
But still so easy to define
'Cause you know it every time
And it's not just in your mind
You can feel the butterflies
Sending chills down your spine

(Chorus:)
What is love?
But a kiss on a rainy day
A smile that won't go away
A safe place to run
What is love?
But a complicated simple truth
A bond between me and you
The number one

Oh, that's love (oh, that's love)
And the things that never cross your mind
Now you're doing all of the time
'Cause with someone special it's a pride
It's like dancing when you walk, and singing when you talk
And you're happy just to be alive
Live in the moment, don't pretend
Let it go or take it in
You don't have to understand the how, why, and whens...

(chorus)

So take off your hat and stay for a minute
Love is a precios thing if you let it in
You'll never know what you'll find till you give it
Some time (some time) Some time....

(chorus)
