You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm so glad
You showed me what love is

I was lost
I couldn't find my way
And I was sinkin', girl day by day
Sorrow flowin' through my veins
I was strugglin' to ease the pain

I was fightin' for my life
And gettin' knocked down
I was down for the count, girl
When you came around

You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm so glad
You showed me what love is

Slept all day
I walked the streets at night
I was drinkin', I was getting into fast
In trouble since I was a kid
I got busted for things I never did

Girl, when my life
Was goin' all wrong
You made everything right
When you came along

You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm so glad
You showed me what love is

You're my life, and my inspiration
Come to me in my desperation
You're my life, and my inspiration
Come to me in my desperation

You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm glad
You showed me what love is
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm glad
You showed me what love is

You showed me what love is
(Showed me, little girl, yeah)
You showed me what joy is
(Yes you did, darlin')
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm glad
You showed me what love is
(Showed me, showed me baby)

You showed me what love is (oh oh)
You showed me what joy is (yeah, yeah baby)
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm glad
You showed me what love is
(Truly showed me darlin')

You showed me what love is
(Oh, you showed me, baby)
You showed me what joy is
You kissed away my sadness
Baby I'm glad
You showed me what love is
Yeah
