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.
What's in a name? what have we got?
I say it's love-you say it's not
Whatever it's called, it feels the same
So what's in a name? (what's in a name? )
What's in a word? what's the big deal?
It doesn't change the way I feel
I'm just thinking out loud...I'll take the blame
So what's in a name? (whats's in a name? )
I'm a hopeless romantic
So I'll take the chance
But it's only semantics
That's got you sitting out this dance
What's in a name that makes you afraid?
How would you describe what we just made?
You're playing with words-this ain't no game
So what's in a name? (what's in a name? )
I'm a hopeless romantic so I'll take the chance
Because it's only semantics that's got you sitting out this dance
If it looks like a kiss, feels like a kiss, what do you know?
Maybe it is...
What's in a name? what have we got?
I say it's love-you say it's not
Whatever it's called, it feels the same
So what's in a name? (what's in a name? )
I'm just thinking out loud-I'll take the blame
So what's in a name? (what's in a name? )
Aw, you're playing with words-this ain't no game
So what's in a name? (what's in a name? )
