Mary J Blige - What Love Is Lyrics






Hmm.
Beautiful, horrible, magical, terrible.
Reason to laugh and smile.
Reason to cry yourself to sleep at night.
Start a fight. Make up, break up, wrong or right.
Heaven for all this work can
equally be hell on earth.
(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't life without it.
And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

Gentle kiss, sweet caress.
Kiss the base of your neck.
Argue until my head hurts, I can't remember what you said.
Out, screaming loud, don't know what were screaming bout.
So confused and yes its true, but if it wasn't there what would we do?

(And no one really knows anything about it)
But everybody needs it.
We can't life without it.
(And that's the way it goes.)
Darkest day, brightest night.
Just some other things you might hear if you ask what love feels like.

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

That's love.
Anything that can bring you up or bring you down.
That's love.
Leave the sun up in your sky of the darkest clouds.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love. And we need it.
That's love.
Oh ask anybody how it feels

And it feels like joy, and it feels like pain.
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying, reason to live.
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

And it feels like joy (joy), and it feels like pain (pain).
And it feels like sunshine, feels like rain.
An excuse for dying (oh), reason to live (oh).
And if you don't know, that's what love is.
Love is.

    I really love this song, bc thats wat love is! n on another note rejoice in the joy of love bc its a beauti4 thing when on both ends its 100%; but when its not cry tears of joy, but embrace the pain as a foundation for building a new found LOVE THRU self LOVE then you will wonder wat took you so long 2 focus all that negative energy on the ! person who deserve 100% of YOU, N thats you first bc YOU LOVe you more than they'll ever know!

  52. D.... D....

    I cry my self to sleep at night because the person I love wont love me back...
    thumbs up if u are in the same situation..

    D.... D....

    Dear Demar, you are the one who is showing the hypocrisy of love. That's where your problem lies. If you truly love someone it suppose to be unconditional (you shouldn't demand that they love you back). True love is even when someone doesn't love you in return. True love shouldn't be a payback.

  53. B.... M....

    I like this...Thanks, Mary!

  54. x.... a....
