Foreigner ~ I Want to Know What Love Is


Foreigner / I Want to Know What Love Is Foreigner最初由英國籍的Mick Jones、Ian McDonald和Dennis Elliott,與美國籍的Lou Gramm、Ed Gagliardi和Al Greenwood所組成,1976年成立於紐約,七十年代末期,該團以重搖滾及主唱Lou Gramm響亮的歌聲闖蕩樂壇,並連續以1977年首張專輯『Foreigner』、1978年『Double Vision』、1979年『Head Games』攻上Billboard專輯榜前五名,進入八十年代,Foreigner刻意走向流行的抒情搖滾曲風,儘管團員只剩Mick Jones、Dennis Elliott、Lou Gramm與新進貝斯手Rick Wills,樂團聲勢依舊不減,1981年7月所發行的專輯4首度站上Billboard專輯榜冠軍,蟬連十週,創造Waiting For A Girl Like You(流行單曲榜亞軍、主流搖滾榜冠軍)和Urgent(流行單曲榜Top4、主流搖滾榜冠軍)等暢銷名曲,I Want to Know What Love Is搭配簡單歌詞卻動人的旋律,為Foreigner贏得首支百萬單曲,此曲除了是該團第一支橫跨英美兩地的冠軍單曲,也是唯一的冠軍單曲。2004年由美國Rolling Stone(滾石雜誌)票選的『五百大歌曲』,I Want to Know What Love Is名列第476名。

I gotta take a little time


A little time to think things over


I better read between the lines


In case I need it when I'm older


Now this mountain I must climb


Feels like the world upon my shoulders


Through the clouds I see love shine


It keeps me warm as life grows colder


In my life there's been heartache and pain


I don't know if I can face it again


Can't stop now I've traveled so far to change this lonely life


I want to know what love is


I want you to show me


I want to feel what love is


I know you can show me


I'm gonna take a little time


A little time to look around me


I've got nowhere left to hide


It looks like love has finally found me


(****)


Let's talk about love


I want to know what love is


The love that you feel inside


I want you to show me


And I'm feeling so much love


I want to feel what love is


No,you just can't hide


I know you can show me


I want to know what love is


(let's talk about love)


I know you can show me


I wanna feel it too


I want to feel what love is


I wanna feel it too,


and I know and I know I know you can show me


Show me love is real, yeah I want to know what love is...
