I Have Been Around This Old Block Before.

I've Walked Into Abruptly Closin' Doors.

Schooled In Hard Knocks, I've Learned A Lot,

About 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 Hasnt Called,

And Now It's 2 A.m.

It Ain't Driving By Her House,

To Find Her Wrapped Up,

In The Arms Of You 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.

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 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 Face 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 Mastercard.

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.
