What Is Love - Janelle Monáe
The Experience: What good is the party if you're not around? Love is more than a feeling, more than a beating heart. But what exactly is it...
The Meaning of What Is Love: Janelle goes back and forth between the feelings (love), and the person she's in love with (your love). Love isn't real, or worth it, unless it's your love. That's the only type of love that's worth more than the party. The only type of love that makes you complete - sanity - instead of breaking your world apart. In true love, the words to the song are "You".
Ask Yourself: Do you measure your relationships by what you feel (love), or by how much you give (your love)?
Ask Yourself: Do you measure your relationships by what you feel (love), or by how much you give (your love)?
LYRICS:
What is love
If it's not with you
I know when you're alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Oh oh
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking 'bout the way you feel
Oh oh
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you're not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
(It's so crazy love)
If it's not your love
What good is love
(It's amazing love)
If it's not your love
What good is love
(It's a baby love)
If it's not your love
What's a song
If you can't hear it too?
Can't imagine dancin' without you
A shooting star ain't really nothin' to see
If you're not right there standing next to me
Oh oh
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking 'bout the way you feel
Oh oh
I wonder if you know it
And what good is the party
If you're not around
Listen to me now
What good is love
(It's so crazy love)
If it's not your love
What good is love
(It's amazing love)
If it's not your love
What good is love
(It's a baby love)
If it's not your love
What is love
If it's not with you
I know when you're alone you feel it too
In your arms is where I long to be
Cause being with you gives me sanity
Oh oh
Listen to me darling
I wake up every morning
Thinking 'bout the way you feel
Oh oh
I wonder if you know it
What good is the party
If you're not around
