What Is Love?

Caught between two love affairs

I brush my teeth and comb my hair

My lonely neighbour called today

And asked me, has he gone away

I lied to her like I lied to him

I lie to myself about everything

Love, what is love?

Love, what is love?

Love is a time

Love is a place

Love is a season

Love is a case of love

Love is a time

Love is a place

Love is a season

Love is a case of love

And so my life repeats itself

Like rhythms in a drum machine

The one who was the one to come

And all of those who might have been

I cry for them like I cry for him

I cry to myself about everything

Love, what is love?

Love, what is love?

Love is a fever

Love is a dream

Sometimes so hard, it can make you scream

Love is a liar

Love can be cruel

Love is an icon, love is a jewel

They let you down

They leave you standing in the rain

They take the joy and leave the pain

Caught between two love affairs

Is it true that no one really cares

My lonely neighbour leaves today

And no one comes to take her place

I lied to her like I lied to him

Now they're gone can I lie about anything

What is love?

Love, what is love? Love, what is love? Love, what is love?
