[Verse 1]

In some respects

E D A

I suspect you've got a respectable side

A E

When pushed and pulled and pressured

D E

You seldom run and hide

A E

But it's for someone else's benefit

C5 G5 A

Not for what you wanna do

A E

Until I realize that you've realized

D A

I'm gonna say these words to you

[Chorus]

A E

You don't know what love is

D A

You do as you're told

A E

Just as a child of ten might act

D E

But you're far too old

A E

You're not hopeless or helpless

C5 G5 A

And I hate to sound cold

E G

But you don't know what love is...

You just do as you're told

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

A E

I can see your man can't help but win

D A

Any problems that may arise

A E

But in his mind there can be no sin

D E

If you never criticize

A E

You just keep on repeating

C5 G5 A

All those empty "I love you's"

A E

Until you say you deserve better

D A

I'm gonna lay right into you

[Chorus]

A E

You don't know what love is

D A

You just do as you're told

A E

Just as a child of ten might act

D E

But you're far too old

A E

You're not hopeless or helpless

C5 G5 A

And I hate to sound cold

E G

But you don't know what love is

E G

No, you don't know what love is

E G

No, you don't know what love is

[Outro]

You just do as you're told

You do as you're told, yeah
