The meaning behind “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 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 lost hearts fear
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips tasting of tears
Lose the taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts yearn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
How could you know what love is
You Don’t Know What Love Is was written by Don Raye & Gene DePaul.
