I love you, you love me
We were supposed to be a family
Changed your name then the baby came
Oh, oh those were my happy days
Flying high over everything
Till you took the wind from beneath my wings
Thought that love shouldn't cost a thing
So why must I pay all these lawyer fees?

Need a resolution
Was it an illusion?
Can't get no satisfaction
And now you've got me asking
Got asking

Is this love? Oh is this love
Or is it just a transaction?
Is this love? Ooh is this love
Or is it just a transaction?

Dragging me in and out of court
Tryna take all that I've been working for
Can you justify what you say the baby needs?
Don't I make sure that she has evеrything?
Twenty thousand isn't child support
We both know just who that money's for
Wе've had our family ties and you went and cut me loose
And now the baby's wondering why we not under the same roof
When did love, when did love
When did love become a transaction?
When did love, ooh when did love
When did love become a transaction?

You left me emotionally bankrupted
We found our balance and you changed up baby
And I don't have a clue of what's gotten into you
Can't explain what's happening, now you got me asking

When did love, when did love
When did love become a transaction?
Oh when did love, when did love, when did love
Become a transaction?

Oh why
When did

When did love love love love love
When did love become a, become a transaction baby?
When did love love love love love
When did love become a, become a transaction baby?

I loved you and you loved me
We were supposed to be, be a family
But you, you threw it all away
The day you left, things haven't been the same, same
When did our love
When did our love
When did our love
Become a transaction?
Tell me why

I still can't believe it
