They say that once the new wears off The test of love begins When the spark that lit the fire won't burn As bright as it once did If lovers lose that old desire Hearts can break in two The hard work starts when it ain't nothin' new Chorus It ain't nothin' new but after all this time This love of ours still hasn't lost its shine It's makin' up when we've been mad that I look forward to Even though it ain't nothin' new Now love don't come as easy as once it did and so Sometimes we seem to say the things that cut and hurt the most But then we pull together and somehow see it through That's what it takes when it ain't nothin' new Chorus
