You don't know what love is, until you've had the blues.

You don't know what love is, until you've had the blues.

And you know the heartaches you've had, when you walk out your shoes.



Love is a real crazy thing, it's so hard to explain.

Love is a crazy thing, it's so hard to explain.

Sometimes you got a smile on your face, and tears fallin' down like drops of rain.



Yes, love now days, ain't like it used to be.

Yes, love now days, ain't like it used to be.

When you lay down at night now baby, your heart is full of misery.



Love has made me drink and gamble, and walk the streets all night long.

Love has made me drink and gamble, and walk the streets all night long.

Just tryin' to find a little happiness, that I never get at home.



You think some people is happy, but please throw it out your mind.

You think some people is happy, please throw it out your mind.

‘Cause they got a smile on their face, but deep down in their hearts they slowly dyin'.



No, you don't know what love is, until you've had the blues.

You don't know what love is, until you left alone.

Every mornin' there's an empty space in the bed, and the one you love is gone.
