[Verse] I have been around This old block before I've walked into abruptly closing doors Schooled in hard knocks, I've learned a lot About how a heart can brake I might not know what love is But I know what it ain' t It ain't laying in the dark and wondering why she hasn't 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 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 hurting side of pain I might not know what love is but I know what it ain `t It ain't showing up for dinner with a rose and chardonnay Then drinking by yourself It ain't a postcard from Hawaii saying we can still be friends But I met someone else It ain't bold face 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 karat anklets on my master card It ain't walking in a pawn shop, recognizing her engagement ring she swore she lost It ain't bold face 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
