What’s Love Got To Do With It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

[Chorus]
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo—
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

[Post-Chorus]
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo—
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

[Verse 2]
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me
[Chorus]
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

[Post-Chorus]
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo—
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

[Outro]
Oh, what's love?
What's love? Oh
