Lyrics

Whoa, whoa, (Am)whoa.

When your world is full (G)of strange ar range ments

and grav i ty (G)won’t pull you through,

you know you’re miss (G)ing out on some thing

and that some thing de (G)pends on you.

(F)All I’m (G)say ing, it takes a (F)lot to (F)love you.

(F)All I’m (G)do ing, you know it’s true.

(F)All I (G)mean now, there’s (Em)one thing, yes (F)one thing (F)that turns this

(Em)grey sky to blue.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (F)love.

When your girl has left (G)you out on the pave ment,

then your dreams fall a (G)part at the (Em)seams.

Your rea son for (G)liv ing’s your (Em)rea son for (F)liv ing, don’t ask (G)me

(F)what it means.

(Who’s got the look?) I don’t (G)know the an swer (Em)to that ques tion.

(F)(Where’s the look?) If I (G)knew, I would (Em)tell you.

(G)What’s the look?

Look, for (G)your in for (Em)ma tion,

(F)yes, there’s (F)one thing, the (G)one thing that (Em)still holds true.

(What’s (G)that?)

(G)Whoa, whoa, (Am)whoa, whoa.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (G)love.

That’s the look, that’s the look, the look of (F)love,

(Am)look (G)of (Am)love.

(F)If you judge a (G)book by the (Em)cov er,

then you judge the (G)look by the (Em)lov er.

I (F)hope you’ll soon re cov er;

me, I go from (G)one ex treme to an oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

sis ters and (F)broth ers.

That’s the look, that’s the look, should help each (F)oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

ooh (G)ooh.

Heav (Am)ens (G)a (Am)bove.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

sis ters and (F)broth ers.

That’s the look, that’s the look, should help each (F)oth er.

That’s the look, that’s the look,

ooh (G)ooh.

Heav (Am)ens (G)a (Am)bove.

(Am)Look (G)of (Am)love!
