Lyrics
Ooh...ooh, ooh...ooh, ooh...ooh, ooh...ooh
When needless words are spoken
The patience pushed too far, self-restraint is broken
As if all love has left my heart
And standing in a face off, the blood is pounding red
We switch the course from 'seek to find' to 'losing it' instead
We surely don't know love at all, the callers many
But so few the doors are open to
No one to catch you when you fall, cemented in your reason?
Will your precious pride protect you now?
The thoughts are born, the words are spoken
The many promises are broken, I'm sure we don't know love at all
We can't see clearly through the rage
We yield to pressures, come of age, we surely don't know love at all
Oh...oh, oh
Ooh...ooh, ooh...ooh
Fire in our anger, like a lesson we forgot
Is forcing us relentlessly to be all that we are not
It's not my real nature, it's not what I want to own
But it always brings me to my knees before I'll let it go
Ooh...ooh, we surely don't know love at all
Ooh...ooh, we surely don't know love at all
Surely don't know love, surely don't know love
Surely don't know love at all (x3)
Thoughts are born, words are spoken
And many promises are broken, ooh oh oh
Can't see clearly, through the rage
Yield to pressures, come of age, ooh oh oh
Surely don't know love, surely don't know love
Surely don't know love at all (x2)
Ooh...ooh...
