Do You Really Know What Love Is? Lyrics by Bernadette Cooper

Drama According to Bernadette Cooper

1990

[Intro:]
I wanna come over and make love to you baby
[?]
But sex and love are two different things
I need to be loved
[?]
Girls, do you know what it’s like
When you love them and they don’t love you back?
Can you relate to the pain?
When it’s gone, it feels like a heart attack
Always in love, moments of passion
(Oh right there)
But that ain’t love
It’s pure obsession
Obsessed with intimacy between two people
But there’s more to love, sex
Are two different things
[Chorus:]
I wanna know
Do you really know what love is
Shoomp da boom boom, baby
Do you really really care?
I wanna know
‘cause if you really know what love is
Then tell me why are you not here with me?
With me!
[Verse 2:]
Loving you, like loving a stranger
A thought I knew you
But I guess I didn’t know you well
A victim to a schizophrenic
Today you love me
Tomorrow can’t even tell
Oh, Doctor Jekyll, Mister Hyde (ha ha ha ha!)
I try my best
To get through your disguise
Diguised as love, pretending to love me
Can’t keep me waiting like your fling
You know that’s not real
[Chorus]
With me!
[Bridge:]
I keep trying to tell you, baby
But you don’t want me, honey
You say yes you do, yes you do
I keep trying to tell you, baby
But you don’t want me, want me, want me
Say yes you do, yes you do
I wanna come over and make love to you baby
[?]
But I keep telling you that
Sex and love are two different things
I need to be loved
[?]
[Chorus]
