What is love, what does it do,
When you've known no love at all?
What if it's frightening, if you fall
For one unreachable as you?
I never knew what loving meant,
What all these feelings do inside
How at once torn, sick, sad and light;
How painful, delightful, torment.
If I love you, please guarantee
- Please wrap that fragile heart of mine
In cellophane, that looks so fine... -
To not feel so alone with me.
What is love, how does it feel:
Is all my heartbeat meant for you?
All warmth inside, for you too?
This all, in you and me, is real?
I am afraid, I never knew
What love is, you must teach me,
Every step, patience, I plea!
So I can love you too.
