I Want To Know What Love Is
(Foreigner)

I gotta take a little time,
a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines,
in case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb,
feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine,
it keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far,
to change this lonely life

I want to know what love is,
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is,
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time,
a little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide,
it looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far,
to change this lonely life

I want to know what love is,
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is,
I know you can show me
I want to know what love is,
I want you to show me
(And I wanna feel) I want to feel what love is
(And I know) I know you can show me

Let's talk about love -
I want to know what love is
The love that you feel inside -
I want you to show me
And I'm feeling so much love -
I want to feel what love is
No, you just can't hide -
I know you can show me
I want to know what love is (let's talk about love),
I know you can show me
I wanna feel it too -
I want to feel what love is
I wanna feel it too, and I know and I know -
I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah -
I want to know what love is...

But it's usually countered with:

Sounds of Silence
(Simon and Garfunkel)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said,
"The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
