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
Darling, I painted my face grey
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
ย
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 Kong chewing gum
Until I got hurt
I was looking
I was the same as you
Until I got hurt
Darling, 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
'Cause till you make that final show
You'll never know what love you've been missing
ย
You say you want to see 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
'Cause you say one day one'll come along
But 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
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
I didn't know what love is
