You don't know what love is
Until you’ve learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've had 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, you don't know what love is
Do you know how lost heart feels
At the thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste of tears
Just lose their taste for the 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
You don’t know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you’ve had a love, you've just 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 heart feels
At the thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste of tears
Just lose their taste for the 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
You just, you don't know what love is
You just, you don't, you don't know
You just, you just don't know
You don't know
You Don’t Know What Love Is was written by Don Raye & Gene DePaul.
