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 a funny feeling deep inside

so many different sides

but still so easy to define



cause you'll know it every time

and its 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



and the things that never cross your mind

now you're doing all of the time

cause with someone special it's so right



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 precious thing

if you let it in

you'll never know what you'll find till you give it some time

some time



chorus
