[Verse 1]
What love wants to be
Is a song that lasts forever
The perfect melody
When two hearts sing together
The moon can't shine without the sun
On my own I'm only one
Now I have a reason to believe

[Chorus]
What love wants to be
You are that to me

[Verse 2]
What love wants to be
Is deeper than an ocean
Green eyes like the see
Reflecting true devotion
When the night is still, the stars that shine
Say yet again that you are mine
No need to keep on searching endlessly

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
After the band is gone
We will keep dancing on
Like every night is Saturday night
What love wants to be
We've heard it through the ages
But no one ever told me that it's free
[Chorus][x2]
