Ain't Really Love

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Everyday I'm trying to get to know ya

But more and more you're changing up your act

Everyday I look for ways to bring us closer

But more and more you appear to be drawing back

And lately when We're making love its getting weaker

My heart don't feeling it and feeling is everything

And I'm feeling like maybe you just don't feel it

And I don't know how to play it

In the past, didn't know how to say it

But I...

[CHORUS]

I held my tongue too long

I can't do it no more (I just can't do it babe)

See how can a man be so cold

To a woman that loves him most (I don't get it at all)

(But if you wanna go) There's the door

(I can't hold ya) Boy you're grown

(You must got me confused) Ooooooo

(I treat myself way too good)

And a love that tears you down ain't really love

Everyday I'm getting up and making breakfast

And more and more you're walking in without a word

And everyday I'm trying to ask, "Baby what's wrong?"

And more and more you say I'm getting on your nerves

And then you take me to the level of some bullshit

Ya said ya never had these problems from a white chic

You got me twisted and twisted is just not how I get with it

You need to sit down and hear it

Ohh...

[CHORUS]

I'm pouring out my heart (my heart)

Don't just sit there while my heart is on the line

Speak your truth (speak your truth)

What it's worth (what it's worth)

Not a word you say will go unheard

Now if it's like that

Then baby just pack your bags

Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting

I'm sick and tired of trying

I had enough of waiting

I'm not that good with playing

I know I love you

But I love myself too

[CHORUS x2]
