What It Ain't

I have been around this old block before I've walked into abruptly closing doors Schooled in hard knocks, I've learned a lot 'Bout how a heart can break I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't It ain't layin' in the dark and wonderin' Why she hasn't called and now it's 2 a.m. It ain't drivin' by her house to find her wrapped up In the arms of your ex-best friend It ain't bold faced lies or alibis That cannot be explained I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't You say you could show me how to love Baby, there's one thing you can be sure of I wouldn't treat you wrong 'Cause I've been on the hurtin' side of pain I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't It ain't showin' up for dinner With a rose and chardonnay, then drinkin' by yourself It ain't a postcard from Hawaii sayin' "We can still be friends, but I met someone else" It ain't bold faced lies or alibis That cannot be explained I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't It ain't a mink coat, forty pairs of shoes Two 14 carat anklets, on my Mastercard It ain't walkin' in a pawn shop Recognizing her engagement ring, she swore she lost It ain't bold faced lies or alibis That cannot be explained I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't If you had all day, I could tell you things That would make a grown man faint I might not know what love is But I know what it ain't Yeah, I know what it ain't
