I Want to Know What Love Is (Foreigner cover) Lyrics

I gotta 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 colder

In my life
There's been heartache and pain
And I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've traveled 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
It looks like love has finally found me

Ohh in my life
There's been heartache and pain
And I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've traveled 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
And I know you can show me

(I wanna know...)

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

Welcome back ''Classic'' Mariah!! I absolutely LOVE this version! I am so pleased to hear the voice I fell in love with 20 years ago! I hope she continues to sing like that, and not like she was for the past decade!!

This song is amazingly beautiful. What I take it to mean is that she has been burned so bad in previous relationships, and is hesitant to start a new one, and has even been running from love. But now someone is in love with her, and she is unsure of what she wants, but wants to try and feel the passion she wants so badly.

I think I can relate to this song in so many ways, to me its somebody who has been hurt in the past and is afraid to let their feelings go with a new love. But now love has been found and Is ready to let the person in by asking them to show them what love is.... totally magical I think this is perfect for song for anyone who has been hurt but managed to found happiness, like I have xxx
