As I awoke this morning
I had a question to ask the world
I asked "where is love?"
I was told love is understanding, truth, and peace of mind
Satisfaction of soul, and sometimes it's being kind

Until by a hermit I was told
He said "son, there’s no one born of woman can tell you from self
You must go out into the world and find out for yourself"

So I'll go on in this life in search of love and happiness
Until I find this thing called love
I'll search for it in the daytime
I’ll look for it late at night
And if I find it sometime I'm gonna wonder if it's wrong or right
Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Where is love?
(I don't know, I don't know)

Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Somebody tell me where is love
(I don't know, I don't know)

You can look for it in the daytime
You can search for it late at night
Oh you bet your bottom dollar baby, if you find it you better hold on tight
Some people look for it in the nighttime
Some people even go to church
But just like the hermit told me, you're gonna find it in your heart first

Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Where is love?
(I don’t know, I don’t know)

Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Somebody tell me where is love
(I don't know, I don’t know)

You know, in the day's time
It's hard to tell where there is love
There's so much lying, cheating and deceiving
That you can look at a friend, and he’ll smile and be lying
And where there is truth, there is love
Where there is love there is truth
Where there is lies there is nothing
So I'm gonna tell you, go out and find it
It's very hard to find

Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Where is love?
(I don't know, I don't know)

Oh love
(Oh love)
Oh love
(Oh love)
Somebody tell me where is love
(I don't know, I don't know)
