Love Is Lyrics

hard to get
impossible to hold
straight and narrow
like a burning fuse
in a long cold dawn
by the side of the road
a hopeless case
a perfect thing
love is (love is)
what you want it to be
love is (love is)
heaven to the lonely
show me what you want me to do
cause love is what i got for you
i close my eyes
search the stars
call for help
but wake up cold
you're in my system
under my skin
raw emotion
please don't go
love is (love is)
what you want it to be
(love is)
heaven to the lonely
show me what you want me to do
cause love is what i got for you
can't live on promises
won't sleep at night
don't understand the things you say
till i read em in your eyes
gotta run on instinct
gotta go by feel
gotta trust my senses
know it is for real
can't live on promises
won't sleep at night
don't understand the things you say
till i read em in your eyes
gotta run on instinct
gotta go by feel
gotta trust my senses
hey hey
(love is)
what you want it to be
love is (love is)
heaven to the lonely
show me
what you want me to do
cause love is what i got for you
love is (love is)
huh (love is)
love is (show me)
hey-oh
(love is) (love is)(show me)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

An amazing song, best time I ever heard it was when it was played from a speedboat that left the pub while I was skinny dipping after dark during a heat wave in Maple Bay

this song shows that there is no true defintion of love, but our feelings and instrincts will give us more awareness about love is than any dictionary definiton ever will
