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
