I saw you kiss another yesterday
You didn’t even know her name
You call me your best friend
And yet in your arms I lay through the night

I watch you hang your head and cry
Enfolding arms tightly
Not mine or yours but still as one
Glazed eyes and feelings hiding afraid to stare

What is love please tell me
What is love my friend
What is love please tell me
What is love my friend

I hear you talk about someone
A girl you once loved
But never thinking when we kiss
And still unmoved

A book of sadness and haunting story
Apart in touch but not in heart
A sense of being sharing glory
A simple life keeping profundity apart

What is love please tell me
What is love my friend
What is love please tell me
What is love my friend
