Lyrics
0:13I went to the doctor to open up my heart
0:20Got my symptoms all mixed up
0:22He didn't know where to start
0:26Ain't no doctor in this world
0:28That can keep a broken heart from falling apart
0:32'Cause they don't know
0:35Oh' they don't know
0:40I went to my mother to show me how to cry
0:45She said "Baby let me shed your tears'
0:49I'll make the sacrifice"
0:53But ain't no crying in this world's
0:56Gonna take the place of mine
0:58'Cause they don't know
1:02They don't know
1:07Some questions have answers
1:11And others just lead you on
1:13Some answers don't answer enough
1:20But I know
1:21The answer is love
1:25But they don't know
1:27Oh' they don't know
1:32I went to my brother to help me understand
1:38Asked him why they're walking by
1:42Don't seem to give a damn
1:46Walking by empty-handed
1:47Don't they see the love they pair's
1:50'Cause they don't know
1:55They don't know
1:58I went to my father to get some prayer for me
2:05He said I hold my head up high
2:09'Cause there's something there for me
2:11Crying but I'm smiling through
2:15'Cause suddenly I see
2:17What they don't know
2:20They don't know that
2:24Sometimes'
2:26Some questions have answers
2:29And others just lead you on
2:32Some answers don't answer enough
2:39But I know
2:40The answer is love
2:44But they don't know
2:46Oh' they don't know
I went to the doctor to open up my heart Got my symptoms all mixed up He didn't know where to start Ain't no doctor in this world That can keep a broken heart from falling apart 'Cause they don't know Oh' they don't know I went to my mother to show me how to cry She 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 know They don't know Some questions have answers And others just lead you on Some answers don't answer enough But I know The answer is love But they don't know Oh' they don't know I went to my brother to help me understand Asked him why they're walking by Don't seem to give a damn Walking by empty-handed Don't they see the love they pair's 'Cause they don't know They don't know I went to my father to get some prayer for me He said I hold my head up high 'Cause there's something there for me Crying but I'm smiling through 'Cause suddenly I see What they don't know They don't know that Sometimes' Some questions have answers And others just lead you on Some answers don't answer enough But I know The answer is love But they don't know Oh' they don't know
