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
