What Love Is Lyrics - Icky Thump - The White Stripes

I some respects 

I suspect you've got a respectable side 

When pushed and pulled and pressured 

You still don't 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 10 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 a 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 in to you 

Yeah you don't know what love is, you do as you're told 

Just as a child of 10 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
