I Know What Love’s All About

by Common

It's about finding a new experience
With someone you'd never thought you'd meet
Who totally turns your life around completely
Helping you get a job and keeping you off the streets
Church on sunday morning, eventually I'm saving money Sending my life in a new direction
Now I'm friends with my old man again
Standing here wearing this wedding band
I can say I knew love because of you, say I know love
I know what love's all about
And you showed me love
I know what love's all about
Ohhhh
I used to think that love was just a weekend thang
The way you make me feel, sharing a moment of emptiness
Bcause you see that wasn't nothing because the moment
she left I forgot about her, until you
came in and you showed me what it really felt to be loved, and kissed, and held, and prayed for, and
wanted, and nutured and guided, and ohh to be understood
[Chorus]
I know I can sit here and I can talk about it cause i've experienced it, and im feelin it, im livin it
right here right now, I got somebody who loves me for me, got somebody who loves me for me,
I know sometime I have to realize that sometimes its about compromise, and you can't always have your
way, cant always have it your way, love is about realizing and love is about redirecting your discisions,
wether to go out all night long or go home to the one you love, its about taking care of your family, and
taking care of your kids, and holding your wife at night and letting her know that the bills will be paid
on time and that you look and you listen to her cause its about love, say love, say love
