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 it
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 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 shows, 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 face lies or alibies that cannot be explained
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
It 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
