On a cold night
Of the longest year
Like a lightning bolt with a master plan
Out of nowhere
In a gold mine
That I've been diggin' for years
Then I found what I wasn't looking for
And it was clear
You don't know what love is

'Cause there's a diamond in the rough
And there's a light that can be stuck
There's a feeling that woke up when it hit me
You don't know what love is

It's been a long fight
Not just flesh and blood
Like a lightning bolt with a master plan
Out of nowhere
Boy, you don't know what love is

'Cause there's a diamond in the rough
And there's a light that can be stuck
There's a feeling that woke up when it hit me
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is

Pressed down
By outside forces
Boy, put down your sword
And free the horses
Yeah, that's when I saw the light
For the very, the very first time, yeah

Cause there's a diamond in the rough
And there's a light that can be stuck
There's a feeling that woke up when it hit me
'Cause there's a diamond in the rough
And there's a light that can be stuck
There's a feeling that woke up when it hit me
You don't know what love is
You don't know what justice is
'Cause there's a diamond in the rough
And there's a light that can be stuck
There's a feeling that woke up when it hit me
'Cause there's a different kind of light
It's not a sea but I was blind
And I could feel the thunder strike when it hit me
You don't know what love is
