Bring me an answer, I've heard it all before
Find me a reason to not beg for more
Reaching for a lifeline, another hand of fate
Trying to believe in something I could hate

If you don't know what love is
It's a hard way to go
If you don't know where the light is
You won't make it home
If you don't heed the sorrow
You won't hear the call
If you don't know what love is
You don't know nothing at all

Just a soldier on the line who's taking all the blows
No refuge from the battle in your ragged clothes
So come out from the darkness, sit down by the door
No one will condemn you, you don't have to run anymore

If you don't know what love is
It's a hard way to go
If you're born in the darkness
With the night in your soul
If you don't heed the sorrow
You won't hear the call
If you don't know what love is
You don't know nothing at all

Coming off the rain parade with your bitter tears
Why is it so hard to say after all these years?

I don't know what love is
It's a hard way to go
I was born in the darkness
With the night in my soul
I wanna heed the sorrow
I wanna hear the call
But I don't know what love is
I don't know nothing at all
