[Verse 1:]
You don't know what love is
Until 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
[Chorus:]
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
[Verse 2:]
Do you know how lost hearts fear
The very thought of reminiscing?
And how lips tasting of tears
Lose the taste for kissing?
[Verse 1 repeated:]
You don't know what love is
Until 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
