What Love Is

Mary J. Blige

Beautiful, horrible, magical
Terrible reason to laugh and smile
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night
Start a fight
Makeup, breakup, wrong or right
Heaven for all it's worth
Can equally be held right here on earth

(And no one really knows anything about it)
No, but everybody needs it
We can't live without it
(And that's the way it goes)
Darkest day
Brightest night
Just some other things you might hear
If you ask what love feels like

And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is
Love is, oh

Gentle kiss
Sweet caress
Kiss the base of your neck
Argue until my head hurts
I can't remember what you said
Out screaming loud
Don't know what we're screaming bout
So confusing
Yes, it's true
But if it wasn't there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
No, but everybody needs it
We can't live without it
(And that's the way it goes)
Ohhh, darkest day
Brightest night
Just some other things you might hear
If you ask what love feels like

And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is
Love is, oh

That's love
Anything that can bring you up
Or break you down (break you down)
That's love
Can be the sun up in your sky
Or the darkest cloud (darkest cloud)
That's love
And we need it
That's love
And we need it (and we need it)
That's love
Ohh, ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy
And it feels like pain
And it feels like sunshine
Feels like rain
And excuse the dying
Reason to live
And if you don't know
That's what love is
Love is, oh
