What Is This Thing People Call Love

Some people keep asking 
What is it this thing 
This thing that people call love
That’s what I been looking for
But I keep hoping that 
One day I will fall in love
Some people say its better 
For love to find you
Well that’s kind of hard after 
What I’ve been through
Sometimes I sit up at nights
Thinking and wondering 
What’s it like to be in love
But it's hard for me to 
Even imagine what that is 
Cause I been hurt so many times
Hoping god will help me out hoping
He will give me a surprise 
To fall in love is all I ask 
But I’m lost out here and its 
Making me mad as I start to cry 
Wishing someone will ease the pain
Until that day I’m stuck with this one question
What is this thing that people call love?
