Josh Turner – What It Ain’t

(Tim Mensy/Monty Criswll)

I have been around

This old block before

I’ve walked into abruptly closign doors

Schooled in hard knocks, I’ve learned alot

‘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 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 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 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 karat 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
