You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
|
No one to help you, your friends don't have the time
|
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
|
You want to relate to something you once read in a book
|
What kind of a way to try to take a look
|
|
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
|
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
|
Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
|
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
|
'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is
|
|
You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
|
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
|
So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
|
But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
|
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
|
|
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
|
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
|
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
|
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
|
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
|
|
Young son, don't let me down, young son
|
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
|
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
|
Turn your heart to the bright sun
|
Love will come your way
|
Cos 'till you make that final show
|
You'll never know what love you've been missing
|
Missing
|
|
You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
|
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
|
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
|
You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along
|
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
|
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
|
|
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
|
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
|
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
|
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
|
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
|
|
Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
|
