I sort of perceive this song as being towards someone who's never known heartbreak. To me, it seems like Janis/the singer went through a very poor relationship,
But nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind,
Honey, like I did, I know I was blind,
Honey, I tell you that I was, I was very, very blind.
but is now with someone who's never known the pain it put her through.
You don't know, you don't know what it's like,
No you don't, honey no you don't know,
You don't know what it's like
To love anybody.
She's basically saying, "I love you more because I know what someone like you is worth!"
