What is love, I yet not know

Through a path of confusion is where I go

Love is like fire it can get really hot

It can burn an area, or just one spot

If you’re not careful, it can burn you

It gets me all the time, no matter what I do

I try to avoid it, but it keeps on coming

As if I was trying to ignite it or something

I keep on trying to distinguish the flame

But I can’t yet reach through all of this pain

I get up in the air and I’m flying fine

But I’ve crashed and burned for the second time

The flame inside has now burned out

There’s no more fire without a doubt

My heart has locked in all misery

Until I find the one with right key

I try to get it started, again and again

But the one holding the key, won’t enter in

I’ve found the key but it will not turn

Because the fire inside just won’t burn

The saying is the third time’s a charm

But I’ve now proved this to be wrong

The one I love has put me aside

As a kid would broccoli for a merry-go-ride

Even though the broccoli is much better

To them right then it doesn’t seem to matter

They’re going to do what they want to do

As the one I love is going to do this too

I try to show the passion I feel

But she turns away as if I wasn’t real

Asking her if there’s another guy

She says there isn’t but I know it’s a lie

I go to see her all of the time

Hoping that one day she’d maybe be mine

What do I do to win her over

All I want to be is her personal lover

I call her a lot and express to her

The feelings I feel but I’m not ever sure

Today I lover her and I feel real good

Tomorrow I’m confused and don’t know if I should

When we’re together I feel real great

She is the hook and I’m the bait

All I want to know is how she feels inside

If she’s the water let me be the tide

I want to hold her tight in my arms

And fill her ears with enchanting charms

I think about her all day long

As I do the words of my favorite song

Her long silky hair and fragranted smell

Her perfect figure that could make you yell

Her deep, deep eyes deeper than the sea

Her bright white smile, the best you’ll ever see

To me she’s beautiful and very sweet

The type of girl that could knock you on your feet

Even though she has knocked me down

I am now getting back up off of the ground

Love can be happy and love can be sad

Love can be good and love can be bad

I guess love is what you make of it

I’m going to keep trying, I’m not going to quit

Love is the future and love is the past

Don’t let your first mess up your last
