Baby, I don't know what love is
Maybe I'm a fool
I just know what I'm feeling
And it's all because of you
Don't tell me I don't know
I want the truth
‘Cause they call it, You call it, We call it
I call it love
-------Lionel Richie —I call it love-------

“Let me go, please… I just want to go…” she continued to struggle despite knowing how futile it was.
