The Definition Of Love

It's been 3 weeks

It's been 3 years

And 3 words are spoken

Whispered into your ear

I love you

You pause to take it in

And grasp what it means

You feel it

Just like the denim in your jeans

This thing

Just unseen

This thing that Amerie sings

And Shakepshere writes

And has me tossing and turning at night

Love

Just what defines it

See I know I've been in

But have yet to question

Just what is love

Webster doesn't seem to know

This feeling passed me at go

I didn't collect 200 dollars

I can name a few fathers

Who loved their wives

But closed their eyes

And dreamed of someone else

An abusive boyfriend hit her with the belt

But he does it cause he loves her

Is it just that absurd to stop and ask

What is love

See I don't like that person

But I love that person

The love of my life is on a gameshow

Hidden behind a curtain

Is love to be planned

Even though that condom broke

And now that boy

Suddenly becomes a man

Can someone tell me what love is

See it's not any of my business

Just trying to make sure I am was or will be

In it

That word is so often spoken but never felt

And sure I want my heart to melt

Except my hand was poorly dealt

By some fat baby with an arrow

I just can't seem to get this definition

Of this thing we call love

Webster can't define it

So I figure Webster hasn't found love

That seems to be the case

For all the men in this place

Who can't see why

Love is so blind

Cupids arrow is unkind

And you've got to be out your mind

To understand this thing called love
