I thought it was easy

I thought you could choose

I thought that if you tried hard

Then you couldn't lose

I thought it was pleasure

I thought it was pure

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till I met you

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till I met you

It's big and it's bright

It's more like a storm

Gives you a pound, boy

No, you wanted some more

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till I felt yours

Thought it was simple

Thought we on track

I thought if you kept on giving

Then you'd get it back

I thought it was spoiled

But I guess I was wrong

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till you were gone

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till you were gone

It's sweet and it's stone cold

And it's cruler than cruel

It's long and it's harder

And it don't got no rules

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till I met you

Oh I thought I knew what love was

'Till I met you
