Music Video[Intro]Ooh-ooh, ooh-oohOoh-ooh, ooh-ooh[Verse 1]I would tell you that I love you tonightBut I know that I've got time on my sideWhere you goin'? Why you leavin' so soon?Is there somewhere else that’s better for you?[Chorus]What is love if you're not here with me?What is love if it's not guaranteed?What is love if it just ups and leaves?What is love if you're not here no more?What is love if you're not really sure?What is love? What is love?[Verse 2]Tell myself I wouldn't cry when you're goneBut I know it's easier said than doneLook at me, look at me choked up now (Lookin' choked up now)Try to tell you, but it won't come out[Chorus]What is love if you're not here with me?What is love if it's not guaranteed?What is love if it just ups and leaves?What is love if you're not here no more?What is love if you're not really sure?What is love if it just ups and goes?You might also like[Bridge]I can't live without ya (I can't live without ya)I can’t live with ya (I can't live with ya)What goes around will come right back aroundYou won't know 'til it hit yaWe were supposed to be (An empire)We were supposed to be (An empire)We were supposed to be an empire[Chorus]What is love if you're not here with me?What is love if it's not guaranteed?What is love if it just ups and leaves?What is love?What is love if you're not really sure?What is love if it just ups?146EmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
