Текст песни Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is

I’ve 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 a world upon my shoulders
And 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 traveled so far
To change this lonely life
 
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna 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
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
 
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
 
I wanna 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 wanna know what love is) the love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) I'm feeling so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) no, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me)
 
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
(I want you to show me) I wanna feel it too
(I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
Show me what is real, yeah I know
 
(I wanna know what love is) hey I wanna know what love
(I want you to show me), I wanna know, I wanna know, want know
(I wanna feel what love is), hey I wanna feel, love
I know you can show me, yeah
