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   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
