[Verse 1] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Verse2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] The meaning of love (tell me) Tell me the meaning of love (tell me)
