Lyrics

You don't know what love is
until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
you dont know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
No, no you don't know what love is
you don't know what love is
You don't know
Baby you don't know
Oooooh
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know what love is
Oooooh yeah
Mmmmm yeah
Mmmm-mm You don't know
