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.
