"If You Don't Know What Love Is" lyrics

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

Come out of the rain parade
With your bitter tears
Why's 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
If you don't know what love is
You don't know nothing at all
