Performance tip
You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told) will land more clearly if you separate the verses through changes in emphasis, then make the recurring lines the clearest part of the arrangement.

Should you sing it?
With You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told), do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement and room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
