You must understand though the touch of your hand

Makes my pulse react

That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl

Opposittes attract

It's physical

Only logical

You must try to ignore that it means more than that

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

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused

When you're close to me

If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace

I've 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

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

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

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
