I speak in many tongues to many men
Argue with angels and I always win
But I don't know the first thing about love
I prophesy and know all mysteries

But I don't know the first thing about love
I don't know the first thing about love
[Verse 2]
I have the keys to open any door
Give all of my possessions to the poor

And moving mountains ain't no thing to me
I've faith enough to cast them to the sea

But all other things shall fade away
While love stands alone and still holds sway
All other things shall fade away
Into the ground, into the grey
[Verse 3]
I give my body up unto the flames
And never once have I denied your name
But I don't know the first thing about love
I don't know the first thing about love
I don't know the first thing about love
