[Verse 1]
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
No, you don't know what love is

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

[Verse 3]
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Ooh, you don't know what love is

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
No, no, you don't know what, what love is
You don't know what love is
