In a world full of jive,
   Full of homicide and suicide,
   There's no room for love and romance.
   In a world full of spite
   Full of hatefulness and bitterness,
   Sincerity don't stand a chance.
   And every night I close my eyes
   And ask the stars above,
   Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?
  
   Where is love and romance,
   And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales
   And the ordinary things people did long ago.
   Where did it go?
   Where is love?
   Where is hope?
   Where is sympathy and trust?
   Where is faith?
   Where is joy in simplicity?
   And where is regard and respect?
   Oh where, oh where is love?
   This world is spinning and turning
   And my head is full of learning,
   But my thoughts keep on returning
   To the things I used to know.
   I should be stronger,
   But my mind continually wanders
   And deep inside
   A voice keeps crying
   Where, oh where is love?
  
   Where is love and romance,
   And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales,
   And the ordinary things people did long ago?
   Where did it go?
   In a world full of jive,
   Full of homicide and suicide,
   There's no room for love and romance.
   In a world full of rape,
   Full of hatefulness and bitterness,
   Sincerity don't stand a chance.
   And every night I close my eyes
   And ask the stars above,
   Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?
   Where oh where is love?
   Where is Love?
   Where is hope?
   Where is sympathy and trust?
   Where is faith?
   Where is joy and simplicity
   And where is regard and respect?
   Oh where, oh where is love?
   Oh where oh where is love?
   Oh where oh where is love?
