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
