Young son, don't let me down, young son
You say you want to learn to laugh
'Cause till you make that final show
Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face gray
Don't you know selling peace and religion
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
And nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine

'Cause you say one day one will come along
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

What kind of a way to try to take a look
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
So you ride around in your car
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know' what love is
So you turn to any phony mouth
Love will come your way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
But wishful thinking, boy any minute now you might be gone
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I did not know what to do
Your friends don't have the time
You've been missing, missing

Something you once read in a book
Television on, you wait for a miracle
You'll never know what love

You say you want to seek the truth
But you work alone, no one to help you

With a tale to tell but he's just a hoaxer
Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this

Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is, oh no
So until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Turn your heart to the bright sun
'Cause music makes you cry
Switch on the radio, you want to relate to
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
