What It Ain't lyrics

I have been around

This old block before

I've walked into

Abruptly closin' 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 AM

It ain't drivin' by her house to find her wrapped up in the arms

of your ex-best friend

It ain't bold face lies or alibies 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 aint 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

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
