Somewhere past midnight when the moment is just right
We ride the streets of desire
We take it slow and always get where we're goin'
'Cause where there's smoke, there's a fire
There's no denying, we don't need to keep trying
Let's face the music and dance, yeah
Well, it's all semantic, what we never say
What we feel ain't goin' away
So I wonder, how could we be feeling
More than this, tell me true, what it is 'cause
Something has to make us feel this way
(Love by another name)
Doesn't matter 'cause it's still the same love
Won't depend on the words we say
(Love by another name)
'Cause something happens when we're making love, yeah
Si ce n'est pas l'amour
If it's not love
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
What is it?
We're superstitious when every day is like Christmas
It should be left undisturbed
No promise spoken, hearts don't have to get broken
More than a four letter word
If we're pretending, we can write a new ending
If we don't like where it leads, yeah
Well, it's new romantic, action over words
The sweetest nothings that I've heard
I can't tell you everything I'm feeling
More than this, do you know what it is? 'Cause
Something has to make us feel this way
(Love by another name)
Doesn't matter 'cause it's still the same love
Won't depend on the words we say
(Love by another name)
'Cause something happens when we're making love, yeah
Si ce n'est pas l'amour
If this isn’t love
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
What is it?
I know that I can't describe, what I'm feeling inside
Maybe I'll learn
I guess, I live with the fear this could all disappear
If I try to put in words
Something has to make us feel this way
(Love by another name)
It doesn't matter 'cause it's still the same love
Won't depend upon the words we say
(Love by another name)
'Cause something happens when we're making love, yeah
It's still the same old love
(Love by another name)
It's still the same old love
It makes me feel this way
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
(Love by another name)
(L'amour sous un autre nom)
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
(Love by another name)
(L'amour sous un autre nom)
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
(Love by another name)
(L'amour sous un autre nom)
It's still the same old love
C'est toujours le même vieux amour
