you don t know what love is you just do as you re told

White Stripes

In some respects
I suspect you ve got a respectable side

When pushed and pulled and pressured
you seldom run and hide

But it s for someone elses benefit,
not for what you want to do
And until i realize that you ve realized
I m gonna say these words to you

(Chorus)
You dont know what love is,
you just do as you re told
Just as a child of ten might act
but you re far too old
You re not hopeless,
or helpless, and I hate to sound cold

But you dont know what love is,
you just do as you re told

I can see you re man
Can t help but win
Any problems that might arise
but in his mind there can be no sin if you never criticize
you just keep on repeating all those empty i love yous
Until you see you deserve better
I m gonna lay right into you

(Chorus)
You dont know what love is,
you just do as you re told
Just as a child of ten might act
but you re far too old
You re not hopeless,
or helpless, and I hate to sound cold
But you dont know what love is,
no you dont know what love is,
no you dont know what love is,
you just do as you re told
Yeah do as you re told
