You Don't Know What Love Is

(Pat Langley)
You Don’t Know What Love Is

By Don Raye and Gene DePaul

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

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

You don’t know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissin’

You don’t know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you’ve faced the dawn
with sleepless eyes
You Don’t Know What Love Is
