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

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 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 you're 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 don't know what love is...

You just do as you're told

I can see your 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 you're told

Just as a child of ten might act

But you're 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 you're told

You do as you're told

Yeah
