I have been around
This old block before
I`ve walked into abruptly closign doors
Schooled in hard knocks, I`ve learned alot
`Bout how a heart can brake
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain`t
It aint layin` in the dark and wonderin` why she hasnt called
And now it`s 2 am
It ain`t driving by her house to find her wrapped up in the arms of you 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 hurting side of pain
I might not know what love is but I know what it aint
It ain`t showing 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 face lies or alibies 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 karet anklets on my mastercard
It ain`t walkin in a pawn shop, recognizing her engagement ring she swore she lost
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
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
