what's love got to do with it

you must understand

that the touch of your hand

makes my pulse react

that it's only the thrill

of boy meeting girl

opposites attract

it's physical

only logical

you must try to ignore

that it means more than that

oh-oh-oh

what's love got to do

got to do with it

what's love but a second hand emotion

what's love got to do

got to do with it

who needs a heart

when a heart can be broken

oh-oh-oh

it may seem to you

that i'm acting confused

when you're close to me

if i tend to look dazed

i've read it someplace

i've got cause to be

there's a name for it

there's a phrase that fits

but whatever the reason

you do it for me

oh-oh-oh

what's love got to do

got to do with it

what's love but a second hand emotion

what's love got to do

got to do with it

who needs a heart

when a heart can be broken

oh-oh-oh

i've been thinking of a new direction

but i have to say

i've been thinking 'bout my own protection

it scares me to feel this way

oh-oh-oh

what's love got to do

got to do with it

what's love but a sweet old fashioned notion

what's love got to do

got to do with it

who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

oh-oh-oh
