I thought it was easy
I thought you could choose
I thought that if you tried hard
Then you couldn't lose
I thought it was pleasure
I thought it was blue

Oh, I thought I knew what love was
'Til I met you
Oh, I thought I thought I knew what love was
'Til I met you

It's big and it's brighter
It's more like a storm
Gives you a bite, boy
And all you want is some more
Oh, I thought I knew what love was
'Til I felt yours

Thought it was simple
Thought we on track
I thought that if you kept on giving
Then you'd get it back
I thought it was loyal
But I guess I was wrong

Oh, I thought I knew what love was
'Til you were gone
Oh, I thought I thought I knew what love was
'Til you were gone

It's mean and it's darker
And it's crueler than cruel
It's long and it's harder
And it don't got no rules

Oh, I thought I knew what love was
'Til I met you
Oh, I thought I thought I knew what love was
'Til I met you
