Verse 1
You must understand, that the touch of your hand makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl, opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

Refrain
Oh-oh-oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

Verse 2
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused when you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed, I read it some place, I got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason, you do it for me

REPEAT REFRAIN

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

REPEAT REFRAIN

What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?

What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
