Oh Where Oh Where Is Love? - The Kinks

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?
