- If you don't read it you'll keep on missing|- What a boner!

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Is it love, is it|Is it love

The broken record|goes 'round and 'round

Within a circle|Without a sound

I'm underwater|In overdrive

You hide in laughter|what's on your mind

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Why don't you tell me

Is it love, is it|Is it love, oh

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Why can't you tell me

Is it love|Is it really love

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Why can't you tell me

Is it love, is it|Is it love

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Hey, girl, well, I got to know|Is it really, really love

Is it love|Is it really love

Hey-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Why don't you tell me

Is it love|Is it really love

Is it love|Is it love we're after

Everybody lookin'for the time Thinkin'love|will come around and hope we'll find it

Is it love|Is it really love

Oh-Oh, baby, is it love
