The lyrics to "What Is Love" by Haddaway are about the emotional confusion and pain related to love. The main recurring lines ask, "What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more." The song expresses feelings of not knowing why the loved one is not there, giving love but not receiving care in return, questioning what is right and wrong in love, and the desire for love without hurt. It highlights a plea for love that does not cause pain or hurt. Here are some key excerpts from the lyrics:
- What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more.
- I give you my love, but you don't care.
- What is right and what is wrong? Give me a sign.
- I want no other, no other lover. This is our life, our time. We are together; I need you forever. Is it love?
The song captures a yearning for a genuine, non-hurtful love and the emotional struggles when that love feels uncertain or painful. If you'd like the full lyrics or a translation, I can provide that too. Let me know!
