What Is Love

The speaker is in a relationship that feels uncertain and painful. They give their love but feel ignored, and they ask what love really means. The repeated plea not to be hurt shows a desire for the relationship to continue, but also a fear that the pain will happen again. The song moves between confusion, longing, and a hopeful insistence that the couple belongs together.

The question “What is right? And what is wrong?” suggests the speaker is unsure how to understand the other person’s behavior or what to do next. Asking for “a sign” means asking for a clear indication of the other person’s feelings. “It’s up to you” places the decision with the partner, while “I can’t go on” conveys how hard the uncertainty has become.

There is a tension between the speaker’s strong commitment—wanting no other lover and imagining being together forever—and their plea for protection from further hurt. This could suggest a relationship with deep affection but poor communication, or one in which the speaker feels more invested than the partner. The repeated question may be less a request for a definition than an expression of confusion and a need to feel loved safely.
