When It's Love Lyrics

Edit Lyrics Everybody's lookin' for somethin' Somethin' to fill in the holes We think a lot but don't talk much about it 'Til things get out of control How do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together When it's love You look at every face in a crowd Some shine and some keep you guessin' Waiting for someone to come into focus Teach you your final love lesson How do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together Oh oh oh oh Oh when it's love Oh oh oh oh You can feel it yeah Oh oh oh oh Nothing's missing Yeah Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Nothing's missing How do I know when it's love, I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever When it's love When it's love It'll last forever When it's love You and I We're gonna feel this thing together When it's love When it's love You can feel it We'll make it last forever When it's love New!

Hot for Teacher Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love Panama Everybody's lookin' for somethin' Somethin' to fill in the holes We think a lot but don't talk much about it 'Til things get out of control How do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together When it's love You look at every face in a crowd Some shine and some keep you guessin' Waiting for someone to come into focus Teach you your final love lesson How do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together Oh oh oh oh Oh when it's love Oh oh oh oh You can feel it yeah Oh oh oh oh Nothing's missing Yeah Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Nothing's missing How do I know when it's love, I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever When it's love When it's love It'll last forever When it's love You and I We're gonna feel this thing together When it's love When it's love You can feel it We'll make it last forever When it's love Correcting wrong lyrics Fixing missing lines Removing extra lines Updating to official version Switching between clean/explicit (official) Fixing line breaks or spacing Correcting stanza/section order Removing unofficial annotations or brackets Correcting punctuation or capitalization Fixing spelling/typo errors Removing non-lyric content Standardizing formatting Other (explain below) Lyrics saved successfully!

Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wanna know if it's love? Just ask Sh0ckt. With all the sex and beautiful days I'm sure he'll tell you YES.

I certainly believe you not only have lost your mind, but you do not have a heart either. What is wrong with you? I believe you have spent far too long inside a world of fiction that you do not realize what is fact; what is real. You need help because you are sick and profoundly disturbed.

"Waiting for someone to come into focus"-throws me off everytime because of the way Hagar sings it.

This song is one of great songs from Sam's decade in the band. It also shows that Van Halen could write songs that had substance. This song is a heartfelt song.

That's sweet. This song makes me sad, though, because it's the last song they played during all the shows. I'm gonna miss Ed! :(

@5171101229 How do I know when it's love?.....that's easy. I know it's love when NOBODY can ever make me feel the way that you do. How does it feel when it's love? Another easy one. It's a constant smile and warmth knowing that the start and end of every day will be with the only person who has ever made me feel whole. You have fulfilled my soul and we will share this forever. I LOVE YOU.
