When You Know What Love Is Lyrics
Craig David
Lyrics
I was lost in thought, when it all began
I was in my zone, busy making plans
I was minding my own, you were walking past
Only a moment, but there was something
Didn't know what I was feeling
But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins
The message and the meaning
When you hear two hearts are beating the same
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
Yeah, I looked before, but I was far too scared
But I found my feet on the ground right there
It's like you looked inside my head
Knew all my past regrets
Gave me a healing, some kind of freedom
Didn't know what I was feeling
But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins
The message and the meaning
When you hear two hearts are beating the same
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
I was in the dark, I was in my own way
Running out of heart
You feel, you'll feel it someday
Should've known it from the start
It's all gain, with no pain when you hear
Two hearts are beating the same
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
It's way out of your control
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
When you know what love is
When you know what love is
You can't afford to let go
