I Want to Know What Love Is (Live) Lyrics[Verse 1]
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 older, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
This mountain I must climb
Feels like the world's upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna take a littlе time
A little time to look around mе (Ooh)
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me (Let's talk about love)
I wanna know what love is (Love that you feel inside)
I want you to show me (Show me that love is real)
I wanna feel what love is (I wanna feel, I wanna feel love)
I know you can show me (Ooh)
I wanna know what love is (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know what love is)
I want you to show me (And I know, and I know, and I know, oh)
I wanna feel what love is (I wanna know what love is)
I know you can show me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
You give me so much love
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
(I know you can show me)
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Amen
You gotta take risks
I've been taking 'em since, uh, I started at eighteen
And uh, I follow my heart
Sometimes I fall flat on my butt
But I get back up
And uh, I was raised that way
We were like this when we were on welfare
We, uh, we wanted to make it so bad, we, uh, kept showing up waiting for God to walk through the room
And when He does, it's a wonderful thing
And if He doesn't, we just keep on
And so half the battle for me, all these years, has been showing up on time
Uh, haha
But anyway
It was 1993 and I certainly showed up for this event
It was CMA and I came out on stage, Vince Gill introduced me
And I was in my long flowing gown with my bustier
My hair jacked to Jesus, haha
And I was really something
And it was a milestone, and when this song came out, it broke my heart a thousand times, and
Have you ever love someone so much, it almost killed ya? (Yeah)
Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one
But music is a healer and so, when I'm feeling that dark night of the soul, I sing
And that's a lot, but I sing
Use your gift
