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 heart and you have lost

You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart fears

The thought of reminiscing?

And how lips that taste of tears

Lose their taste for kissing?

You don't know how hearts burn

For love that cannot live, yet never dies

Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes

You don't know what love is
