The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know what love is
Is it roses and kisses or moonlight and song
Or just a lot of people talking
I thought that I knew but I guess I was wrong
You told me love was everything
The reason for living to listen to you
Please don't ever leave me
Just shadows of words disappeared in the blue
Years just go by
My heart keeps beating though it doesn't show
Tears in my eyes
And words like forever are all that I know
I don't know what love is
Temporary dream go away with the dawn
But I believed in always
And I kept on believing until you were gone
Years just go by
My heart keeps beating though it doesn't show
Tears in my eyes
And words like forever are all that I know
Tell me what you're thinkin' of
Fallin' in and out of love
Tell me what it's like to be you
You said you would love me only
This confusion leaves me lonely
Tell me what it means to you
To be true
I don't know what love is
One woman's fantasy another man's game
But it kept you close inside me
In the heat of the night I still call out your name
I don't know what love is
But my heart keeps on beating though it doesn't show
But I believe in always
'Cause words like forever are all that I know
And words like forever are all that I know
