  • Where is the love
    You said you'd give to me
    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 yeah

  • Ronald D Sward from Los Banos, CaI just purchased this most beautiful love song album. Its one of mu top 3 love songs since 1982. Its a song i listen to in my quiet evenings being alone. I wish Roberta well.
  • Seymour Pettigrew from North Carolina Thanks for these songfacts, but Roberta and Donny didn't attend Howard University together: she was a teacher, he was her student. (Ok, technically they were there at the same time.)
    Regardless, I love this song
  • Sandy from FlA beautiful song with a fresh, soulful sound. I love it!
  • Cher from Enumclaw, WaCamille, I agree with you 100%. I listen to this song over and over and over and over again and I never get tired of it either. It never gets old!
  • Camille from Toronto, OhThis is one of the most beautiful duets ever sung. The voices of Donnie Hathaway and Roberta Flack combined are a thing of beauty. I almost think you could listen to this song in a continuous loop forever and never tire of it. This is perfection.
