[English]

I'm gonna 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

Ohhhh

This mountain I must climb

Feels like a world upon my shoulders

Through the clouds I see love shine

It 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 travelled 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'm gonna take a little time

A 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 travelled 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 want you to show me

I wanna feel what love is

I know you can show me

Come on everybody, I want to hear you sing, everybody sing

I wanna know

I wanna know what love is (love is what I feel inside)

I like it singing with the choir, I want you to show me

I want you to show me

Sounds good, I want to feel

I want to feel what love is

Keep it going it sounds good, I know you can show me

I know you can show me

Take a deep breath and make it loud

I wanna know what love is

Oh, yeah, sounds good, keep it going. I want you to show me

I want you to show me

Everybody sing it real loud, I want to feel

I want to feel what love is

Thank you for singing, you sound so good, keep it going

I know you can show me

Show me love is real

I wanna know what love is

Love that you feel inside

I want you to show me

All right, I wanna know what love is

Love that you feel inside

And I know, oh, now you can show me

I wanna know what love is

I wanna know what love is

Love that you feel inside

I want you to show me
