You don't know what love is
'Til 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.
(G)
Do you know how a lost heart fears
At the thought of rem - i - nis - cing,
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can - not live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleep - less eyes,
You don't know what love is.
