You Don't Know What Love Is Lyrics - Icky Thump - 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 elses 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 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 

Yeah, you don't know what love is 

You just do as you're told 

Just as a child at ten might act 

But you're far too old 

Youre 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, yeah
