The White Stripes - You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told) In some respects I suspect you've got a respectable side When pushed and pulled and pressured You seldom run and hide But its for someone elses benefit Not for what you wanna do Until I realize that you've realized I'm gonna say these words to you You don't know what love is You do as your told Just as a child at ten might act But you're far too old You're not hopeless or helpless And I hate to sound cold But you dont know what love is... You just do as your told I can see you man Cant help but win Any problems that may arise But in his mind there can be no sin If you never criticize You just keep on repeating All those empty "I love you's" Until you say you deserve better I'm gonna lay right into you You don't know what love is You just do as your told Just as a child of ten might act But your far too old Your not hopeless or helpless And i hate to sound cold But you don't know what love is No you don't know what love is No you don't know what love is You just do as your told You do as your told Yeah End End
