About Love

What's it all about this thing we call love?
I can't figure it out and I can't get enough.
It's been here forever it's lasted through all time
This thing we called love with no reason or rhyme.
    CHORUS:
    Well here's what I do know.....

    It's not about chasing and love ain't suspicious
    It's not about disgracin� and love's never vicious
    It's not about time served or a long empty promise
    It's not about lectures or his and her belongings...

    Love's about lots of hard work and turning the other cheek
    Love's about sharing each other 'til your knees are weak
    Love's about facing the hard times and stormy weather
    Love's about lovin� him/her enough to face yourself in the mirror

I've read all the books about Mars and ol' Venus
I've read how�t makes life good if he'll do the dishes
I've asked all the people who I can think of
Just what do they think of when they think of love

    CHORUS
    Well here's what I do know......
    It's not about control and it ain't about pain
    It's not about who wins or personal gain
    It's not about taking or hurting him/her first
    It's not about heartache or angry outbursts.... No

    Love's about helping each other to chase all your dreams
    Love's about biting your tongue when you want to scream
    Love's about sharing your heart and speaking your mind
    Love's about holding him/her close when life's been unkind.

I've asked my sweet mama she says "It's all about forgiving"
Then I asked my daddy he said, "It makes life worth living"
I asked my best friend she said "Love's gotta be blind"
I asked my true love he said "It's your hand in mine"

    CHORUS:
    Here's what I learned....
    Love ain't hiding from life's storms behind a 12-pack of beer
    Love ain't blaming your dear wife/husband for all of your fears
    Love ain't taking advantages of those who are weak
    Love ain't telling him/her lies, then having to sneak

    Love's about cold winter nights spent setting hearts on fire
    Love's about sharing with him/her your body's deepest desires
    Love's about chasing each other 'round the kitchen like kids
    Love's looking deep in his/her eyes and finding your best friend

    Fade:
      Love is taking her hand and holding it in his....
        Yeah love is a light shinin through the myst.......
          Love is making him/her smile
            Yeah, love is a kiss....
              Yeah, that's what love is.....
