You say you love me,
You swear that you do!
But how can you love me
And be so untrue?
Oh-oh, what do you know about love?


You say you mean it,
How happy we'll be,
But how can you mean it
And be mean to me?
Oh-oh, what do you know about love?


It's funny
When you hold me tight,
It thrills me so much it's a sin!
But honey,
When you hold me tight,
This isn't love, it's the mood that you're in!


I'd like to believe you,
That we'll never part;
How can I believe you
When you break my heart?
Oh-oh, what do you know about love?


It's funny
When you hold me tight,
It thrills me so much it's a sin!
But honey,
When you hold me tight,
This isn't love, it's the mood that you're in!


I'd like to believe you,
That we'll never part;
How can I believe you
When you break my heart?
Oh-oh-oh, what do you know about love?


Darlin, you say we'll never part,
You'll mend a broken heart,
I'd like to believe you,
That we'll never part;
How can I believe you
When you break my heart?
But what do you know about love?
