Lyrics:

… 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

… This mountain, I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
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 (hey)

… Gotta take a little time
Little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
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 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 wanna know)
I want you to show me (I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is (I know, I know, and I know)
I know you can show me
Let's talk about love

… I wanna know what love is
(Love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me
(I'm feeling so much love)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know, you just can't hide)
I know you can show me

… Oh, I wanna know what love is
(Let's talk about love)
I know you can show me
(I wanna feel)
I wanna feel what love is
(And you know you just can't hide)
I know you can show me
I wanna feel what love is (oh, I wanna know)
I want you to show me
