(Chorus) (x2)

What is love?

Baby, don't hurt me

Don't hurt me

No more

I don't know why

You are not fair

I give you my love

But you don't care

So

What is right?

And what is wrong?

Give me a sign

(Repeat Chorus) (x2)

I don't know, what can I do

What else can I say?

It's up to you

I know we're one

Just me and you

I can't go on

I want no other, no other lover

This is our life, our time

If we are together, I need you forever

Is it love?

2.- Lyrics

Feeling my way
through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell
where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me
I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well, life will pass me by
if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by me


(CHORUS) (x 2)

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost


I tried carrying
the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance
to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay
forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game
made for everyone
And love is the prize

Repeat chorus

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
