Thinking about baby and wondering who's holding her tight tonight
 People say I've been a fool too long, too long
 All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on

 Chorus:
 And I say
 You'll never know until it happens to you
 You'll never know all that I'm going through
 Love ain't something that flies away
 Somebody goes but the feeling stays
 And you'll never know until it happens to you

 Saturday's rollin' and everybody's rockin' but me
 I should go to town but I don't want no company, no, no, no
 Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
 I know it's true but if they only knew it's easier said than done
 Oh yeah

 Repeat chorus

 Bridge
 Friends say I've been a fool too long, much too long
 They just don't understand why I sit at home all alone by the phone

 And I say
 You'll never know until it happens to you
 You'll never know all that I'm going through
 You'll never know, oh no
 You'll never know, whoa
 You'll never know until it happens to you
