What is Love All About? Lyrics

I only breathe when your mouth opens.
I only dream when you're asleep.
When I'm in this room, I don't see nothin'
'Cept whatever's running through your mind.

I only breathe when your mouth opens.
I only dream when you're asleep.
I only see this room when youre in it
And they're asking do I know what love's about?

I only sigh when I'm not with you.
I can't remember why I am.
I only speak when you are thinking.
And they're asking do I know what love's about.

What is love all about? What is love all about? What is love all about?
Everyone should know. What is love all about?....

I only speak when you are breathing.
I only dream when you're asleep.
I only see this room when you're in it.
Same for the sea and trees and lonely sky.

I only sigh when I'm not with you.
I can't remember why I am.
I only speak when you are thinking.
And they're asking do I know what love's about.
And they're asking me if I know what love's about.
Everyone should know. Everyone should know. Everyone should know.
What is love all about? Everyone should know.

Put The Message In The Box

I only breathe when your mouth opens.
I only dream when you're asleep.
When I'm in this room, I don't see nothin' 
'Cept whatever's running through your mind.

I only breathe when your mouth opens.
I only dream when you're asleep.
I only see this room when youre in it 
And they're asking do I know what love's about?

I only sigh when I'm not with you.
I can't remember why I am.
I only speak when you are thinking.
And they're asking do I know what love's about.

What is love all about? What is love all about? What is love all about?
Everyone should know. What is love all about?....

I only speak when you are breathing.
I only dream when you're asleep.
I only see this room when you're in it.
Same for the sea and trees and lonely sky.

I only sigh when I'm not with you.
I can't remember why I am.
I only speak when you are thinking.
And they're asking do I know what love's about.
And they're asking me if I know what love's about.
Everyone should know. Everyone should know. Everyone should know.
What is love all about? Everyone should know.

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.
