Please tell me, what is love?
(Oh, yes, won't you tell me what is love?)
What is love?
(Oh, yes, won't you tell me what is love?)
What is love?
(Oh, yes, won't you tell me what is love?)
What is love?

Love is a funny thing,
You can't explain (wo-oh).
It makes you happy but it (wo-oh),
Brings a lot of pain.
Who can tell me of,
This feeling I found,
(Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh).
When he's near me,
I feel like I found,
(I feel like, feel like I found,)
A boy, boy.

Love is a funny thing (wo-oh),
It helps you forget (wo-oh),
All of the troubles that (wo-oh),
You might have met.
When you have dreams,
That are shattered and torn,
(Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.)
You will know he'll be there,
And when dreams are born,
(When dreams, when dreams are born.)
Is this love?

So if your heart is broken (oh'oh'oh'),
And you long for his embrace (oh'oh'oh'),
Just wait and he'll be there (oh'oh'oh'),
With love you can't replace.
He'll hold you and kiss you,

(Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.)
And then you'll be bright,
And happy for the rest of time.
(For the rest, rest of time.)

Oh, gee.
The rest of time, oh-oh, he'll be there.
The rest of time, (rest), oh-oh (oh-oh-oh),
Fade.
He'll be there the rest of time....

1Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."

1aBecause Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.
