Lyrics
Refrain
What is love?
Is it gladness? or a form of sadness?
Or a sign of madness?
Should we meet face to face
Will it frighten me?
Kindly enlighten me
What is love?
I keep guessing whether it’s a blessing
Or a thing distressing
Should it come to me
What will it prove to be
When I’m head and heels in love?
