You Don't Know The First Thing

you say you used to be happy
but it was a lie
'cause for everytime you laughed
a thousand times you cried inside
it just seemed to easy
to deny the pain
to say you hated sunshine
you were waitin' for the rain

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love

you think love is a feeling
for everyone else
you had your heart thrown back at you
so you put it on the shelf
you say you don't need it
but you lie in vain
'cause i really don't believe
that you're still waitin' for the rain

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love

(bridge)
now i know that we've both been there
thinkin' love is just for fools
making all those promises
and breakin' all those rules
but if it's really useless
if all it brings is tears
why is it the one thing
that we've wanted all these years

you still can imagine
it's a dreamlike place
even after all the tears you've cried
you still might find a way
and it won't be easy
to just let go
you've come to far to go back now
i guess you never know

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love
yeah, you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love
