Oh Where Oh Where Is Love?

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 story books, fairy tales
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, fairy tales
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?"

Oh 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?

Where oh where is love?
Where oh where is love?
