[Verse 1]
In some respects, I suspect you got a respectable side, yeah
When pushed and pulled and pressured, you seldom run and hide
But it's for someone else's benefit, not for what you wanna do
Until I realise that you've realised, I'm gonna say these words to you

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what love is
You do as you're told
Just as a child at ten might act
But you're far too old
You're not hopeless or helpless
And I hate to sound cold, yeah
But you don't know what love is
You just do as you're told

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, you do as you're told

[Bridge]
Huh
Huh
Huh
Oh
Oh, you do as you're told
Yeah, oh
Oh, you do as you're told
[Verse 2]
I can see your man can't help but win any problems that may arise, yeah
But in his mind, there can be no sin if you never criticise
You just keep on repeatin' all those empty "I love you's"
Until you see you deserve better, I'm gonna lay right into you

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know what love is
You do as you're told
And just as a child of ten might act
But you're far too old
You're not hopeless or helpless
And I hate to sound cold
But you don't know what love is
No, you don't know what love is, yeah
No, you don't know what love is
You just do as you're told

[Post-Chorus]
No, no
Oh, you do as you're told, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, you do as you're told

[Outro]
