  sözleri şöyledir :
  
  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
