If This Is Love

The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast

Burning and bedevilling, not allowing any rest

The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart

A blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart

If this is love... who needs it?

There's a tender, tempting feeling that is growing in my mind

Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind

A warming worm that's mellowing and eating my resolve

Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve

If this is love... I want it!

Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance

Flashing and flickering and forcing me to dance

I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew

Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you

If this is love... I need it

If this is love... I want it

If this is what love is like... oh yes, I need it

Oh if this is what love is like, I wanna have a taste of it
