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
