[Chorus]
What is this? Oh yeah
What is this? Somebody tell me, yay
What is this now? I like it
What is this? Look

[Verse 1]
What is this thing that's got a hold on me?
What is this feelin' that won't let me be?
Even with my problems I can sleep at night
'Cause it lets me know everything's gonna be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
It's gotta be the love of my baby, yeah
It's gotta be the love of my baby, yeah, hey

[Chorus]
What is this? Come on
What is this? Uh
What is this? Somebody tell me
What is this? Ah, look out

[Verse 2]
Without this feelin' what would life be?
It would mean nothin' at all to me
Even with my problems I can sleep at night
'Cause it lets me know everything's gonna be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
It's got to be the love of my baby
It's got to be the love of my baby, uh

[Bridge]
Oh, oh yeah, whoa, what a feelin'
This thing keeps me rockin' 'n' a-reelin', ow, ow

[Chorus]
What is this? Somebody tell me
What is this? Now
What is this? Uh, I-I got, I got, I got, I got
What is this?

[Verse 3]
I can walk with my head up high
This thing called love keeps me alive
If you got it, you'll understand
Why I'll keep poutin' out over this land

[Outro]
I keep on asking you, what (love of my baby)
It's got to be the love of my baby (yeah)
It's got to be the love of my baby
She got some a-walk (love of my baby)
