You don't know what love is
'Till you've learned the meaning of the blues
'Till you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

How could you know how lips hurt
'Till you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Baby, 'till you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And how lips taste of tears
Oh, they lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
'Till you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know what love is
How could you know how lips hurt
'Till you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Baby, 'till you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And how lips taste of tears
Oh, they lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Baby, 'till you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know
No, you'll never know
What love is
