Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

You Don't Know What It's Like

Walking around in a daze

This feeling took so long to come

I'm never gonna be the same again, yeah

What happened to my common sense

I thought that I at least had some

But love can make fools out of the wisest

And now I'm a man who recognizes

It's nothing like you hear on the radio

It's nothing like how you dream it at night

'Til you fall until it happens to you

Oh, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like

No, no

People say I'm acting strange

Like I'm in the twilight zone

It's got to be love that's got me out of my mind

I'm somewhere in total disconnection

'Cause I had a total misconception

It's nothing like you hear on the radio

It's nothing like how you dream it at night

'Til you fall until it happens to you

Oh, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like

It's nothing like in movies or magazines

Or those romantic novels they write

'Til you fall until it happens to you

Oh, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like

This love is not like my dreams

Or any fantasies I've had

It's taken me to both extremes

Sometimes it's better than good

Sometimes it's worse than bad

Oh, it's nothing like you hear on the radio

It's nothing like how you dream it at night

'Til you fall until it happens to you

Oh, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like

It's nothing like in movies or magazines

Or those romantic novels they write

'Til you fall until it happens to you

Oh, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like...
