Love will dance on your lips Balance on your fingertips Like a midnight cigarette, it burns you Love will talk, love will tell Be your heaven or be your hell Always the greatest lesson that never learns you Love's a laugh and you're a clown Saves your life, knocks you down It don't feel it even when it hurts you So what is love? It's everything It's bended knees and diamond rings Summer days and thunder storms and lightning You build it on starry skies Shaky ground and crazy fights Reason for the story that you're writing That's what love is That's what love is That's what love is It's kisses in a picture frame A feeling that you give a name A thousand miles of drivin' on my heartbeat It's obvious, it's a mystery Makes you blind and makes you see It's "I do" in the white sand and your bare feet It's the reason that you don't go down an old street So what is love? It's everything It's bended knees and diamond rings Summer days and thunder storms and lightning You build it on starry skies Shaky ground and crazy fights Reason for the story that you're writing Like a promise in the backseat at the drive-in That's what love is That's what love is That's what love is That's what love is That's what love is, baby's prayer Love is, a double dare Love is, everywhere That's what love is, bittersweet Love is, the enemy Love is, the only thing in this world you ever need Love is That's what love is That's what love is, a runaway Love is, say you stay Love is, a lot of prayers all it takes That's what love is That's what love is Love will dance on your lips Balance on your fingertips Like a midnight cigarette, it burns you
