(Uh, Damn)
  I had someone before
  That I thought I loved but I was young and I didn't know
  I let her hurt me and work my nerves to the bone
  Jerk me, find another, and push me along
  But it taught me one thing
  That love is deceived
  You got that phony love where you giving and receiving
  But things are different now
  I put that all behind me
  I'm sure this time, that
    I (I) think I really know what love is now
  How it would get ya, how it looks, how it sounds
  And how it makes you feel when you finally found somebody special
  Now (I) think I really know what love is now
  And how it makes you smile when you down and out
  And the world treats you cold
  It's easier when you've found somebody special
    Everything, everything, everything, will make you smile
  When you find somebody to hold you
  Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know would never lie
  It's easier to breathe when you meet somebody
  Who makes you laugh, who makes you glad
  Glad that you didn't just give it up
  Somebody that you comfortable to live it up with
  What I got is what I'm missing
  And ooohhh what I'm feeling
    I (I) think I really know what love is now (what love is now)
  How it would get ya, how it looks, how it sounds (hey)
  And how it makes you feel when you finally found somebody special (how it makes
  you feel when you found somebody, hey)
  Now (I) think I really know what love is now (what love is found)
  And how it makes you smile when you down and out (hey)
  And the world treats you cold (treats you cold)
  It's easier when you've found somebody special
    All I ever wanted was someone to trust (hey)
  And what I found was sooooo real (baby)
  And now I really feel like I'm a friend of love
  (Ooh) And this is what I believe in
  And I ain't letting go
  No, no, no, no, no
  I'll keep holding on
  Strong, strong, strong, strong, strong
  Things are different now
  The drama is behind and I feel this time (yeah)
    I (I) think I really know what love now (what love is now)
  How it would get you how it looks how it sounds (how it looks how it sounds)
  And how it makes you feel when you finally found somebody special (finally
  found somebody special hey)
