Simone, Nina - You Don't Know What Love Is Lyrics






You don't know what love is
'Till you've learned the meaning of the blues
'Till you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

How could you know how lips hurt
'Till you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Baby, 'till you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And how lips taste of tears
Oh, they lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
'Till you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know what love is
How could you know how lips hurt
'Till you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Baby, 'till you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing?
And how lips taste of tears
Oh, they lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Baby, 'till you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know
No, you'll never know
What love is

  17. D.... S....

    LOVE is: watching your very life’s blood slowly and painfully drain from your body high on a hill for all to see in front of your family as your mother’s heart is broken in two. Don’t you dare! ✝️👑🔥🌹

  18. L.... R....

    Осенью Нина особенно проникает в душу! Как же мы ее любим*

  19. g.... f....

    she also sang- I QUOTE,
    you need to know when to leave the table
    when LOVE IS No longer being served.....
    she can deliver a lyric better than most singers.

  20. R.... R....

    I miss you Nina. Bisous up to the heavens where your angel voice has ascended. We haven't forgotten you down here.

  21. �.... �....

    Великая......

  22. J.... D....

    I wonder if Nina got to hear the song with the same name from the white stripes...? I hope so.

  23. J.... D....

    Nina knew what "LOVE" is... You can hear it in every song, sad happy, it doesn't matter...

  24. J.... M....

    Um sentimento em forma de música. Tudo que está mulher canta, é vivo. Uma estrela para sempre brilhando. ❤️

  25. E.... T....

    Nina Simone takes me back to the feelings I had for Mel Taylor, who was the most romantic man and Libra, I ever met in my life. He could recite "This Is My Beloved," by Walter Benton his voice and cadence made you melt inside. Try listening to Nina, sing this song, while reading Walter Benton, "I need love more than ever now...I need your love, I need love more than hope or money, wisdom or drink Because slow negative death withers the world - and only yes can turn the tide." and see if you can understand what I mean. This is for you, Mel Taylor, my friend from your friend Ellen S. Ringer.

    nina,gave the blues a new, deeper shade of indigo,not from the heart...but from inside it..

  48. A.... A....

    what key does she sings in?

  49. T.... D....

    I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS...

  50. l.... l....

    all of her music has such a healing power. she was blessed with a gift & truly shared it with the world.

  51. A.... A....

    DIVINE.

  52. c.... s....

    Soulful beautiful woman..
    I swear beauty is internal..
    This is a very phenomenal song. that takes you on a journey of pain that one has felt but couldnt touch!!..Especially the women who gave their premature heart to a incompetent professional!!..
    But pain is an invitation for growth.
    So laugh at those sad but nurturing moments,from that thirsty soil you have developed a beautiful flower
    for a real gardener to care..🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶✔✔

  53. A.... P....

    SO beautiful, but one of those shots starts on her legs and pans out to... never show her face? Nina was gorgeous, but I feel like that sexualizes her in a way that would never happen to a male artist

  54. E.... S....

    She followed my youth

  55. R.... R....

    Nina Simon you beautiful tortured soul. I know what love is. I feel your soul. You are a spectacular woman. I wish I could tell you this personally. Maybe you know this from your resting place. I hope you knew how absolutely great you are, still today. X

  56. J.... C....

    Just want to save the generation by saying I'm 19 vibing to this.. I'm honored

  57. k.... o....

  61. K.... ....

  62. A.... J....

    Honestly I feel like the OP of the Rule of Rose game took a lot of inspiration from this song

  63. d.... m....

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. C.... G....

    I think love is like everything in life it has his different movements it's in and out just like Nina when she sung the song If if she's taking each part of that love that you felt for that person and making it hers and to try to build it and mold it and never let it in she gave her love if if it had roots to a tree and no one could take it down Nina's horses very strong and powerful and her love this person was always that way power of root of love

  65. P.... L....

    You don't know what love is
    Tu ne sais pas ce qu'est l'amour
    Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
    Tant que tu n'as pas appris le sens de la tristesse
    Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
    Avant que tu n'aies eu un amour que tu as dû perdre
    You don't know what love is
    Tu ne sais pas ce qu'est l'amour
    You don't know how lips hurt
    Tu ne sais pas comme les lèvres font mal
    Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies embrassé et aies dû en payer le prix
    Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies donné ton cœur et que tu aies perdu
    You don't know what love is
    Tu ne sais pas ce qu'est l'amour
    Do you know how a lost heart fears
    Sais-tu comme un cœur perdu craint
    The thought of reminiscing
    La pensée de se souvenir
    And how lips that taste of tears
    Et comme les lèvres qui ont le goût des larmes
    Lose their taste for kissing
    Perdent leur goût aux baisers
    You don't know how hearts burn
    Tu ne sais pas comme les cœurs brûlent
    For love that cannot live yet never dies
    Pour un amour qui ne peut vivre mais qui cependant ne s'éteint pas
    Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies affronté chaque aube avec des yeux qui manquent de sommeil
    You don't know what love is
    Tu ne sais pas ce qu'est l'amour
    You don't know what love is
    Tu ne sais pas ce qu'est l'amour
    You don't know how lips hurt
    Tu ne sais pas comme les lèvres font mal
    Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies embrassé et aies dû en payer le prix
    Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies donné ton cœur et que tu aies perdu
    You never know what love is
    Tu ne sais jamais ce qu'est l'amour
    Do you know how a lost heart fears
    Sais-tu comme un cœur perdu craint
    The thought of reminiscing
    La pensée de se souvenir
    And how lips that taste of tears
    Et comme les lèvres qui ont le goût des larmes
    Lose their taste for kissing
    Perdent leur goût aux baisers
    You don't know how hearts burn
    Tu ne sais pas comme les cœurs brûlent
    For love that cannot live yet never dies
    Pour un amour qui ne peut vivre mais qui cependant ne s'éteint pas
    Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
    Jusqu'à ce que tu aies affronté chaque aube avec des yeux qui manquent de sommeil
    You don't know
    Tu ne sais pas
    No you never know what love is
    Non tu ne sais jamais ce qu'est l'amour

  92. L.... C....

    The Siren of all love lost. Our voice.

  93. S.... V....
