[Verse 1]
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna take a little time (Take a little time)
A little time to look around me (Ooh)
I've got nowhere left to hide (Nowhere left to hide)
It looks like love has finally found me (Ohh)

[Pre-Chorus]
In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

[Chorus]
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is (Feel what love is)
And I know you can show me
Show me, I wanna know
I wanna know what love is
(Ohh, I wanna know)
I want you to show me
(And I'm feeling so much love)
I wanna feel what love is (I wanna feel)
And I know you can show me, hey, yeah
I wanna know what love is
Let's talk about love
I want you to show me

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
