[Intro]
What is this? Baby
What is this? Somebody tell me
Hey, what is this? You know I like it
Yeah, what is this? You know I like it

[Verse 1]
What is this thing that's got a hold on me?
What is this feelin’ that won't let me be?
With my problems I can sleep at night
It lets me know everything's alright

[Chorus]
Got to be the love of my baby
Got to be the love of my baby

[Post-Chorus]
Baby, what is this?
Hey, what is this?
Somebody tell me, look out
Yeah, what is this? Somebody tell me

[Verse 2]
Without this feelin’ what would life be?
It wouldn't mean anything at all to me
With my problems I can sleep at night
It lets me know everything's alright
[Chorus]
Got to be the love of my baby
Got to be the love of my baby, baby

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, what a feelin'
This thing keeps me rockin' 'n' a-reelin'
Look out

[Bridge]
What is this?
Ooh, what is this?
Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me what is this
I got to know what is this, somebody tell me

[Verse 3]
I can walk with my head up high
This thing called love keeps me alive
And if you got it, you’ll understand
Why I’ll keep callin' all over this land

[Outro]
Got to be the love of my baby
Love of my baby
Got to be the love of my baby
Got to be the love of my baby
It’s alright, it's alright
Got to be the love
