Never really thought about the lyrics, part 1

Being a fan of the (pre disco) Bee Gees, I always thought about what a sweet love song To Love Somebody was. I mean "...to love somebody, the way I love you" is a pretty intense line, right?

It only later occured to me the importance of the line before it. "You don't  know what it's like..." isn't just an intensifier to what follows, it's a friggin' indictment.

"You don't know what it's like - to love somebody - to love somebody, the way I love you." It's either depressing, accusing or both, but it's not very endearing.
