I·ve read more than a hundred books


Seeing love mentioned many thousand times


But despite all the places I·ve looked


It·s still no clearer


I·m still no nearer


The meaning of love






Noted down all my observations


Spent an evening watching television


Still I couldn·t say with precision


Know it·s a feeling and it comes from above


But what·s the meaning


The meaning of love


(tell me)






From the notes that I·ve made so far


Love seems something like wanting a scar


Well I could be wrong


I·m just not sure you see


I·ve never been in love before






Next I asked several friends of mine


If they could spare a few minutes of their time


Their looks suggested that I·ve lost my mind


Tell me the answer


My Lord high above


Tell me the meaning


The meaning of love






From the notes that I·ve made so far


Love seems something like wanting a scar


Well I could be wrong


I·m just not sure you see


I·ve never been in love before






The meaning of love


(tell me)


Tell me the meanïng of love


(tell me)
