same summer. The song was certified gold (First one for Donny) won a Grammy

Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
You said, you'd
give to me
As soon as you
were free
Will it ever be?
Where is the love?
You told me that
you didn't love him
And you were
gonna say, goodbye
But if you really
didn't mean it
Why did you have
to lie?
Where is the love?
You said, was
mine, all mine
Till the end of
time
Was it just a lie?
Where is the love?
If you had, had a
sudden change of heart
I wish that you
would tell me so
Don't leave me
hangin' on the promises
You've got to let
me know
Oh, how I wish, I
never met you
I guess, it must
have been my fate
To fall in love
with someone else's love
All I can do is
wait
That's all I can
do, yeah yeah
Where is the love?
(Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
Where is the
love? (Where is the love?)
