I see her in a smokey room
Got her hair tied back in a ponytail
Ask her how she got there
She knows but’ll never tell
Got a bottle of tequila by your side
Got a trickle of a tear by your eye
And you think that it’s okay
Yeah, you think that it’s alright
You think he’s the right guy
Said he’s gonna treat you right
But you don’t know what love is
You keep asking
«What is love?
What is love, love, love?
What is love?
What is love, love, love, love, love?»
I offer up my open hand
She grabs on and I pull her up
I take her home to my place
Let her have the bed 'cause she need the space
Oh, and I know she was gonna get abused
Yeah, I know that she was gonna get used
That’s why I went to save her
To show her how he should love her
He just wanted to get with her
One night stand then through with her
And she thinks that’s what love is
Ain’t nobody tell her
What is love?
What is love, love, love?
What is love?
What is love, love, love, love, love?
You come to me and ask me why
You tend to fall for all the wrong guys
But what you do not understand, baby
Is that I’ve been here all this time
You come to me and ask me why
You tend to fall for all the wrong guys
But what you do not understand, baby
Is that I’ve been here all of this time, yeah
What is love?
What is love, love, love?
What is love?
What is love?
What is love, love, love?
What is love?
What is love?
