You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find

 No one to help you, your friends don't have the time Hey, Hey, Hey

 So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio

 You want to relate to something you once read in a book

 What kind of a way to try to take a look

Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way

 Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey

 Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I

 I didn't think of this until I got hurt

 'Till I got hurt. baby. I didn't know' what love is

You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry

But the tears you shed are only in your eye

So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell

But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion

Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do

Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I

I didn't think of this until I got hurt

'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Young son, don't let me down, young son

 I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now

Hold on, never let go, now hold on

Turn your heart to the bright sun

 Love will come your way

 Cos 'till you make that final show

You'll never know what love you've been missing

Missing

You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone

No one to help you and nobody to push you on

So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on

You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along

(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone

I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way

Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way

Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I

I didn't think of this until I got hurt

'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
