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 now 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 not it's 2:00 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-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
Well baby, there's one thing
You can be sure of
I wouldn't treat you wrong cause i 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-faced lies or alabis 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 ankle
