If This Is Love

About If This Is Love

"If This Is Love" is a song written by Kerry Chater and Robbie Patton which was recorded by Joey Travolta for his 1978 debut album Joey Travolta. The album's advance single: "I Don't Wanna Go", had been issued in May 1978 and had approached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 but ultimately stalled at #43. Issued as a single concurrently with its parent album's release in September 1978, "If This is Love" would not accrue enough popularity to reach the Hot 100: it did spend six weeks in the 101-150 Singles chart in Record World magazine rising as high as #115. The song had earlier been recorded by Tom Jones for his 1977 album What a Night (1977), with another 1978 recording being made by Peter Pringle. "If This is Love" was subsequently recorded by Randy Edelman for his 1979 album You're the One from which it was issued as a single, by Glen Campbell - with Tanya Tucker as background vocalist - for his 1980 album Somethin' 'Bout You Baby I Like, Melissa Manchester for her 1980 album For the Working Girl, and by Nigel Olsson for his 1980 album Changing Tides (1980). The Melissa Manchester version was issued as its album's first single release and became a Top 20 Adult Contemporary hit also reaching #102 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 in Billboard (while failing to register on the 101-150 Singles chart in Record World). more »

The palpitating beast that beats within my battered breast
Burning and bedeviling, not allowing any rest
The thunder in my mind reflects the storm within my heart
The blasting, blaring sound that tears my soul apart

If this is love
Who nee-eeds it

There's a tender tempting feeling that is blowing in my mind
Soothing and caressing a part of me that's blind
A warming worm that's mellowin' and eating my resolve
Changing and challenging my cold heart to dissolve

If this is love
I wa-an' it

Now a flaming, flaring fire I feel has trapped me in it's trance
Flashin' and flickering and forcing me to dance
I'm raised by its pure energy, aborning me anew
Blinding but enlightening, I know the fire is you

If this is love
Woh, I wa-an' it
If this is love
I wa-an' it
If this is what lo-ove is like
Oh yes, I nee-eed it
Oh if this is what love is like
I want to have a taste of it (fade)
