You Don’t Know What Love Is Dinah Washington

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 lose:
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips burn 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

Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing?
And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts ache 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 what love is
