Bassey, Shirley - I Want To Know What Love Is Lyrics






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 a 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'm traveled so far
To change my lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna 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

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 my lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

    Far much better as those modern porno singers like Beyonce,Maria Carey,etc.This is a lady with class.Super voice.

    J.... M....

    The older artists such Shirley, Vikki Carr, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin are GREAT because they had to keep their voices strong by performing grueling vocal exercises. In other words, they put in the work! They did not rely on 'AutoTune' electronic devices that many younger singers do today to enhance their voices and to keep them on key. I saw a recent interview with Aretha Franklin and the person asked her what she thought of AutoTune. Her response was, 'What's that?' Yes, with the older artists, you got the Real Thing!

    J.... M....

    Aretha used pitch correction in her last album and artists like Beyonce and Mariah have showed excellent vocals for years

  16. a.... m....

    ATTENTION: Dame Shirley Bassey will be appearing at the 2013 Academy Awards Show In Hollywood on February 24th. She will perform for the 50th James Bond anniversary celebration! Wonderful News! Bassey is herself celebrating 60 (Diamond) years in Show Business, starting back in 1953.

  31. S.... B....

    Happy Birthday Dame Shirley! I join all of your world wide fans to wish you a wonderful Birthday, and a most prosperous 2013. Your Diamond Anniversary in Show Business (60) years, is truely an amazing feat for any artist! We all are impatiently awaiting for you to record your next CD....hope hope hope, and maybe you will decide to tour the world to celebrate with all your fans...Regards, Scot

  32. V.... ....

    I've said it before, and it seems strange to say it considering her credentials, but I really think that Shirley is an underrated singer.

    V.... ....

    Velasca she sold 135 mil units...Wouldn’t say she is underrated..

  33. A.... S....

    Sou portuguesa e desde sempre ouço Shirley com muita emoção.
    Todos os CD e DVD desaparecem do mercado rápidamente.
    Shirley é uma força da natureza com a sua voz magnífica cantando as letras como uma poesia,
    O público rende-se á sua presença magnifica.

  34. I.... ....

    the power, passion and artistry of the great Shirley Bassey

  35. M.... ....

    @Maekchuu Shirley is genius! She actually takes her time with this song, unlike Mariah who kinda rushes it . .

  36. M.... ....

    @sas9023055
    Yeah but I'm guessing at least 50% of her fans do not own computers and if they do probably don't know how to use youtube and all that. Looking outside of the box we seems to judge peoples success by the youtube hits they get these days . . like many times people on the news would so oh lady gaga's bad romance got 10,000,000 hits in 2 days. . 140 million records :O . shiiiiiteeee.

  37. S.... B....

    @sas9023055 - I am also finding that many Europeans in general tend to not give their artists the positive feedback by hitting the 'Like' button after seeing a great performance. Lady Gaga gets millions of views and thousands of 'Likes' - and here Shirley has received 20 Likes from such a great performance. Even though it is a cover, it is still a great performance. The world seems to be upside down.

    S.... B....

    It's little to do with being European and more to do with age, not as many younger people follow Shirley as the follow GaGa

    S.... B....

    Most people today dont know what good music is.The rather look and listen to ugly porn stars.

  38. S.... B....

    @Maekchuu - I am from the USA, and Shirley is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, as you can tell from all her Vids I have uploaded! Your comment about never forgetting the greats is right on. Shirley is such a dilema for me, as she is the top selling female artist of all time in the UK with over 140 Million records sold world wide, and yet the number of views she gets are so few compared to other artists, including her counterpart artists of the same generation. A real dilema for me.

    S.... B....

    Shirley Bassey Music and Vids the culture worldwide has changed. There’s not much appreciation for real music and real talent anymore

  39. M.... ....

    Indeed! She is particularly powerful for me as her race mirrors mine, except my mother is Welsh where I think her's is English. Nevertheless what a prolific career, 58 years! Shucks, I have no doubt in my mind that she is one of the best UK Artists. It actually saddens me a tad, to know that todays 'cartoon' meaningless music is swamping classics like these :( . Won't be long... whats the world to do if we forget the Greats / those classic hits that shape modern music ???

  40. S.... B....

    @Maekchuu - Great comments! Yes, Shirley is so expressive when she sings, but like you say, it's not a bad thing...it just makes her unique. And, what people tend to forget is that she can back up her expressiveness with a powerful rich voice. Shirley always wanted to go into acting, but when she started in show business, those opportunities weren't very good for artists of mixed race. So, Shirley expresses her acting through her singing. 58+ years in the music industry, and counting...

  41. M.... ....

    I haven't really heard any of Shirley Bassey, until today. For me her voice is enriched with maturity and sophistication. love it. She believes every word she says, people have said she acts more than she sings, but she's convincing and it's not merely 'pretending' rather expressing with her vocals and expression.

  42. S.... ....

    @Uzio777: did you get the song in MP3??? If not, let me know.....

  43. U.... ....

    i was watch this show on TV (russian TV ) but i can't find this dvd :P

  44. s.... h....
