I thought I didn't have to turn on the lights to find you/
I figured you'd be right here standing by me like you use to/
Now I am alone and crazy hoping all my wildest dreams come true/

What's the point in wishing for love?/
It's snug fit holds our heart like a glove/
From a doctors hand that reaches in and pulls out
A gift from above/

I hope my love for you becomes taboo/
So that it doesn't hurt so much when I look at you/
And songs on my radio that remind me of you fade away with you too.

If you came crawling back I would marvel your action/
And wonder what made your mind side with this faction/
You claimed you didn't love me/
So everything I see before me is acting.

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
My mind would be fresh as the morning dew/
And I would know exactly how to love you

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
So I would know what to do when I am around you

I just wish I knew love so I won't have to
Feel the way that I do.

The thought of staring in your eyes clouds my mind like a storm/
With winds that's sure to leave most of its contents torn
In the form of a queen who moves peacefully and serene/
In a flash destroying her path creating a different scene

I use to hate hearing "you got it bad" growing up/
Now when the first chord strikes all I can think about is throwing up/
You've caused me so much grief a blind man could see fields of the times I've given up.

Maybe I am just young and I still have much to learn/
And when love comes around again I will have my turn/
And the scars you left will no longer burn/
And the tears that fell will all dry away/
Making me anew like opening my eyes to a new day/
But until then

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
My mind would be fresh as the morning dew
And I would know what to do when I am around you/

I just wish I knew love so I won't have to
Feel the way that I do.
