Do you wanna know what love is? It aint out here crying In the dark on the front porch With your makeup running. On the phone with a man who Will never love you like I do When you don't want me I still want you. Do you wanna know the worst part Is when you say it's not my fault But you're breaking down And I'm breaking down All the words that I can't say Burning up in my ribcage Feeling all the pain Do you wanna know what love is? It's breaking all the rules It's admitting when we're fools Knowing that our hearts might break Even then we choose to stay You'll never hear me say Tonight I can't love you Tonight I can't love you You remember the night when We were dancing in the kitchen And then I held you close We spoke in whispers When I took your hand I said I'll give you three wishes The look in your eyes said I wanna know what love is It's breaking all the rules It's admitting when we're fools Knowing that our hearts might break Even then we choose to stay You'll never hear me say Tonight I can't love you Tonight I can't love you
