You Don't Know What Love Is (1942) lyrics by Don Raye music by Gene De Paul

You don't know what love is 
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues 
Until you've loved a love you had to loose 
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 you're heart and you have lost 
You don't know what love is 
Do you know how a lost heart fears 
The thought of reminiscing 
And how lips have taste of tears 
Loose the taste for 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 how hearts burn 
For love that cannot live, yet never dies 
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes 
How could you know what love is, what love is 
What love is
