You don't know what love is
Until you've learnt the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved the love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you flipped your heart and you've lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And our 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 faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know, you'll never know what love is
