Hey baby what do you know about how it feels
Honey what do you know about if that's real
Baby what do you know about the whole deal
And what'd you know about love

Hey baby what do you know about all its dreams
Honey what do you know about Cupid's schemes
Baby what do you know about what that means
And what'd you know about love

For I've been longing to find
Another heart that would know
And it seems like yours just might

Hey baby what do you know about it's first blush
Honey what do you know about the caught up rush
Baby what do you know about what to trust
And what do you know about love, woah no

My heart's so often been wrong
That it still can't be sure
If this finally did come along

Hey baby what do you know about all its dreams
Honey what do you know about Cupid's schemes
Baby what do you know about what that means
And what'd you know about love
Oh take it down

Hey baby what do you know about how it feels
Honey what do you know about if that's real
Baby what do you know about the whole deal
And what'd you know about love
Oh baby, tell me what do you know about the whole deal
And what do you know about love
