They Don't Know
I went to the doctor to open up my heartGot my symptoms all mixed upHe didn't know where to startAin't no doctor in this worldThat can keep a broken heart from falling apart
'Cause they don't knowOh, they don't know
I went to my mother to show me how to cryShe said "Baby let me shed your tears, I'll make the sacrifice"But ain't no crying in this world's gonna take the place of mine
'Cause they don't knowThey don't know
Some questions have answersAnd others just lead you onSome answers don't answer enoughBut I knowThe answer is love
But they don't knowOh, they don't know
I went to my brother to help me understandAsked him why they're walking byDon't seem to give a damnDon't they see the love they pair's walking by empty-handed
'Cause they don't knowThey don't know
I went to my father to get some prayer for meHe said I hold my head up high 'cause there's something there for meCrying but I'm smiling through'cause suddenly I see
What they don't knowThey don't know that
Sometimes,
Some questions have answersAnd others just lead you onSome answers don't answer enoughBut I knowThe answer is love
But they don't knowOh, they don't know...
