/5+
You don't know what love is
/5+
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues;
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
(003201) /4 /5+
You don't know what love is.
/5+
You don't know how lips hurt
/5+
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost;
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
(003201) /5+
You don't know what love is.
Do you know how a lost heart fears
At the thought of rem - i - nis - cing,
And how lips that taste of tears
(003201) /4 /5+
Lose their taste for kissing?
/5+
You don't know how hearts burn
/5+
For love that can - not live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleep - less eyes,
(003201) /5+
You don't know what love is.
