Alvin:
Hmm, yeah

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over (hmm)
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

The Chipmunks:
In my life (in life) there's been heartache and pain
I don't know (don't know) if I can face it again
Can't stop now, oh I've traveled so far
Change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me (yeah)
I wanna feel what love is (oh)
I know you can show me (yeah, show me)

Alvin:
Hmm, yeah

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me, yeah
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me, yeah yeah

The Chipmunks:
'Cause in my life (in life) there's been heartache and pain
I don't know (don't know) if I can face it again
Can't stop now, oh I've traveled so far
Change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is (oh I gotta know)
I want you to show me (show me yeah)
I wanna feel what love is (got to feel it very soon)
I know you can show me (show me baby, show me baby, yeah)

I wanna know what love is (oh what it means)
I want you to show me (show me baby, show me, yeah)
I wanna feel what love is (oh)
I know you can show me (yeah, oh I gotta know)
