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 timeSo 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 lookUntil I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face gray
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 isYou say you want to learn to laugh
'Cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eyeSo you turn to any phony 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 gumUntil I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling 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 isYoung 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'Cause till you make that final show
You'll never know what love
You've been missing, missingYou say you want to seek the truth
But you work alone, no one to help you
And nobody to push you onSo you sit at home drinking your wine
Television on, you wait for a miracle
'Cause you say one day one will come along
But wishful thinking, boy any minute now you might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrongSo 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, oh noUntil I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
