What is Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right, and what is wrong?
Give me a sign

[Chorus]
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more

[Verse 2]
Oh, I don't know, what can I do?
What else can I say? It's up to you
I know we're one, just me and you
I can't go on

[Chorus]
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
[Bridge]
I want no other, no other lover
This is our life, our time
When we are together, I need you forever
Is it love?

[Chorus]
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more

[Outro]
What is love? Oh, oh, oh, oh
What is love? Oh, oh, oh, oh
What is love?
