I've read more than a hundred books

Seen love mentioned many thousand times

But despite all the places I've looked

It's still no clearer it's just not enough

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?

The meaning of love

Tell me the meaning of love

From the notes that I've made so far

Love seems something like wanting a scar

But 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 look suggested that I'd lost my mind

Tell me the answer, my Lord high above

Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love

The meaning of love

Tell me the meaning of love

From the notes that I've made so far

Love seems something like wanting a scar

But I could be wrong, I'm just not sure you see,

I've never been in love before

Tell me the meaning of love.
