You Don't Know What Love Is

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 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've flipped your coin and you have lost

You don't know what love is



Oh, do you know how lost I've been

At the thought of reminiscing?

And how lips that taste the tears

They lose the taste for kissing



And you don't know how hearts burn

For love that cannot live yet never dies

Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes

You don't know what love is



Oh, do you know, do you know

How lost I've been, baby

At the thought of reminiscing?

And how lips that taste the tears

They lose the taste for kissing



You don't know how hearts burn

For love that cannot live yet never dies

Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes

You, you don't know what love is



You don't know, you don't know, you don't

You really don't know, you really don't know

I don't know, you, you don't know

You don't know
