What Is Love

(album: Original Soundtrack From Season 1 Of Empire - 2015)

I would tell you that I love you tonight
But I know that I've got time on my side
Where you goin'? Why you leaving so soon?
Is there somewhere else that's better for you?

What is love if you're not here with me?
What is love if it's not guaranteed?
What is love if it just ups and leaves?

What is love if you're not here no more?
What is love if you're not really sure?
What is love?
What is love?

Told myself I wouldn't cry when you're gone
But I know it's easier said than done
Look at me, look at me, choked up now
(Got me choked up now)
Try to tell you but it won't come out

What is love if you're not here with me?
What is love if it's not guaranteed?
What is love if it just ups and leaves?

What is love if you're not here no more?
What is love if you're not really sure?
What is love if it just ups and goes?

I can't live without you
(I can't live without you)
I can't live with you
(I can't live with you)
What goes around will come right back around
You won't know 'til it hits you
We were supposed to be (an empire)
We were supposed to be (an empire)
We were supposed to be an empire

What is love if you're not here with me?
What is love if it's not guaranteed?
What is love if it just ups and leaves?

What is love?
What is love if you're not really sure?
What is love if it just ups?
