If You Ain’t Felt Love (Country & Western song)

You may well have a very fine education;
lots of doctorates, diplomas and degrees.
You may have travelled to each and every nation
and believe you’ve seen most that there is to see.

Perhaps you’ve extra sensory perception;
can see the future long before it has occurred
or maybe you have come to some new conception
that’s beyond the comprehension of the common herd.

Chorus:

But if you ain’t felt love,
then you don’t know nothin’.
Love of everything,
the mighty and the small.
If you ain’t felt love,
then you aint seen nothin’.
Because love really
lets you see it all.

You may engage in constant conversation
with your omnipotent creator in the skies
or have deduced through complex calculations
something I’d take many lifetimes to realize.

Perhaps you sit in a position of some power;
are privy to secrets known to a select few
or you’re just standing upon the world’s tallest tower,
seein’ things that we ants below may never view.

Chorus:

But if you ain’t felt love,
then you don’t know nothin’.
Love of everything,
the mighty and the small.
If you ain’t felt love,
then you aint seen nothin’.
Because love really
lets you see it all.

Bridge:

‘Cause you see loving is really
a lense of a kind
and if you don’t have it
you might aswell be blind
and you know loving is a secret
book of knowledge;
the key to understanding
all you read in college.

And you see the joy of love
is like a tower high
and those ants, so far below,
are diamonds in the sky
and you know the thing that
speaks to you can’t be god above
unless it speaks to you
about the joy of love.

Chorus:

‘cause if you ain’t felt love,
then you don’t know nothin’.
Love of everything,
the mighty and the small.
If you ain’t felt love,
then you aint seen nothin’.
Because love really
lets you see it all.
