Lyrics[]

[Dan]
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh, baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Yeah

Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love

Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Oh, 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
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh
What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh
What is love

Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh bab, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
(We found love in a hopeless place,
we found love in a hopeless place)
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh bab, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
(We found love in a hopeless place,
we found love in a hopeless place)

[Maiday]
Now that we found love what are we gonna do with it?
Now that we found love what are we gonna do?
