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 wanna do
Until I realize that you've realized I'm gonna say these words to you

Yeah, 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
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 criticize
You just keep on, repeating all those empty "I love you"s
Until you see you deserve better, I'm gonna lay right into you

Yeah, 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
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, do as you're told
Yeah
