Don't You Know
Drive She Said Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Papa says it's a bitch to recognize it
Like catchin' rhythm from the pourin' rain
Mama says it's a flicker in the eye of a lover
Why would mama lie
It's not hard to explain
It's a light that keeps shinin'
It's love
Don't you know what love is
Let me show you love, girl
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh-oh
Oh, it could be 'so long'
And I know that it could last forever
I feel the passion in you growin' stronger
Girl, you should know by now
Here I am callin' you from the still of the mornin'
To the heat of the night
It's not hard to explain
It's a light that keeps shinin' in me for you
It's love
Don't you know what love is
Let me show you my love, girl
Oh-oh-whoa, don't you know what love is
Oh, don't you know what it is, yeah
(I could be the one, oh-oh, whoa)
Papa says it's a bitch to recognize it
(This could be the one, oh-oh, whoa)
Like catchin' rhythm from the pourin' rain
(Yes, it's gotta be the one, oh-oh, whoa)
Mama says it's a flicker in the eye of a lover
(Don't you know what love is, oh...)
Why would mama lie
Love
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
Girl, ket me show you my love, girl
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
Oh, it can be so strong
Oh-oh-whoa, don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
It's gotta be the one
Don't you know what love is, oh...
I could be the one, the one
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
Don't you know what love is, oh-oh, whoa
