[English]

Every day, in a movie

in a book or in a drama, I feel love

Um- I learn about love

My heart keeps beating as if it’s my own story

Makes my heart pound and swell with hope

Um- I want to know so bad

Ooh Maybe someday

Could it happen to me, too

When will it be? Who will it be?

I wanna know How it could be as sweet as candy

I wanna know How it’s like flying in the sky

I wanna know know know know

What is love? What love feels like

I wanna know How it keeps you smiling all day

I wanna know How the whole world turns beautiful

I wanna know know know know

What is love? Will love come to me someday?

Just imagining all this

Just thinking about it almost makes my heart to burst

Um- How good it feels

If, one day, for real

Love does come to me, I might just cry

Um- I really want to know how it feels

Ooh Maybe someday

Could it happen to me, too

When will it be? Who will it be?

I wanna know How it could be as sweet as candy

I wanna know How it’s like flying in the sky

I wanna know know know know

What is love? What love feels like

I wanna know How it keeps you smiling all day

I wanna know How the whole world turns beautiful

I wanna know know know know

What is love? Will love come to me someday?

Where in the world are you right now

Just when will we get to meet each other

When and how might our relationship start

Don’t know right now, but somehow I feel

that it will be real good

Better than any movie or drama

The greatest love will come, my gut instinct is always right

C’mon, show yourself, I’m all set Ready!

(Wonder where you are) I’m gonna find you

(Wonder where you are) I’m so dying to see you

I can’t take it much longer

How it could be as sweet as candy

How it’s like flying in the sky

I wanna know know know know

What is love? What love feels like

How it keeps you smiling all day

How the whole world turns beautiful

I wanna know know know know

What is love? Will love come to me someday?

I wanna know

I wanna know know know know

What is love?

I wanna know

What is love?

I wanna know

I wanna know know know know

What is love?

I wanna know
