You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I′m so glad
You showed me what love is

I was lost
I couldn't find my way
I was sinkin′ day by day
Sorrow flowin' through my veins
Strugglin' to ease the pain

I was fightin′ for my life
And gettin′ knocked down
I was down for the count
When you came around

You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm so glad
You showed me what love is

Slept all day
Walked the streets at night
Was a loser
Who couldn′t do right?
In trouble since I was a kid
They blamed me for things I never did
Just when my life
Was all goin' wrong
You made it all right
When you came along

You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I′m so glad
You showed me what love is

You're my life, my inspiration
I need you in my desperation
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I′m so glad
You showed me what love is

You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm so glad
You showed me what love is
