Lyrics: What It Ain't

I have been around tThis old block before
I've walked into abruptly closin' doors
Schooled in hard knocks, I've learned a lot 'bout how a heart can break
I might not know what love is 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 driving by her house to find her wrapped up in the arms of your ex-best friend
It ain't bold faced 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 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 faced 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 carat anklets on my master card
It ain't walkin' 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
