[Verse 1: Dave James]
What is love?
Is it the feeling that I feel when I am holding your hand
Maybe if you would just get to know me a little better
You'll understand

[Pre Chorus: Ari Lennox & Dave James]
And words just get thrown around
We fall asleep to the sound of our hearts caving in

[Chorus: Dave James]
Whatever we are
I don't want to be anymore
How can it change?
You said it could take
All of the strength in my heart, yeah
Whatever we are
Whatever we are, yeah
Whatever we are
Whatever we arе

[Verse 2: Ari Lennox, Dave James & Both]
Up and down, we sway
Here's anothеr day
Of sells and tales a thief
You had me on display
I am so humiliated
And the clock don't stop for me
I'm asking who is she
A victim you portray and push me out the way
'Cause you couldn't handle
Can't believe this shh
[Pre-Chorus: Ari Lennox]
'Cause I don't need fraudulent love
And his can't be what God has for us

[Chorus: Ari Lennox]
Whatever we are
I don't want to be anymore
How can it change?
You said it could take
All of the strength in my heart
Whatever we are
Whatever we are
Whatever we are, yeah
Whatever we are

[Bridge: Dave James, Ari Lennox & Dave James]
Whatever we are
I don't want to be anymore
How can it change?
You said it could take
All of the strength in, all of

[Chorus: Dave James, Ari Lennox & Both]
Whatever we are
Whatever we are, yeah (Are, are)
Whatever we are (Are)
Whatever we are (Whatever)
[Outro: Dave James & Ari Lennox]
Are, yeah, yeah, ooh
