You don't know the meaning of uncontrolled desire You were always hanging just above the fire Now and then you come close enough to just stay warm And you think that you win cause you never give in Because you've never been burned Ah, but you're gonna learn [Chorus] That you don't know love Till it's chilled you to the bone Turned you inside out Left you all alone You don't know love Till you've watched it die and then You have to try again You don't know love. Like a child you wander out into the storm You defy the thunder, but the lightning keeps you warm The innocence you show is something I'd like to know And I'm feeling that I'm finally crossing the line But I won't be alone - Yes, I've known all along [Chorus] No you don't know love.
