You Don't Know What Love Is (you Just Do As You're Told) Lyrics - The White Stripes

In some respects 

I suspect you've got 

A respectable side. 

When pushed and pulled 

And pressured 

You seldom run and hide. 

But it's for someone else's benefit 

Not for what you want to do. 

And until I realize that you've realized 

I'm gonna say these words to you: 

CHORUS 

You don't know what love is 

You just do as you're told. 

Just as a child of ten might act 

But you're far too old. 

You're not hopeless, 

Or helpless 

And I hate to sound cold... 

Bust you don't know what love is 

You just do as you're told. 

I can see your man can't help but win 

Any problems that may arise. 

But in his mind there can be no sin 

If you never criticise. 

You just keep on repeating all those 

Empty "I love you"'s 

Until you see that you deserve better 

I'm gonna lay right into you. 

CHORUS 

You don't know what love is 

You do as you're told. 

Just as a child of ten might act 

But you're far too old. 

You're 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 you're told 

Yeah. 

You do as you're told.
