"That Ain't Love" lyrics

"That Ain't Love"

Let's go out for a drink
Maybe we'll even dance
Won't you take a risk with me
To find out if it's romance?

That's not what you were
Really trying to do, baby
You just wanted to be seen
Well my guitar's packed
And the spotlight's faded
I'm off to the next city

Because that ain't love
That ain't love, that ain't love at all
You only pick up the pieces you want
That ain't love at all
That ain't love at all

Well I see you in town from time to time
On the mall between 5th and 6th
Dancing with older men
Who spin you around
They doin' anything to steal a kiss

You take a shot and you bum a cigarette
They hit the men's room and
You sneak out the back
You got your props and
Your pretty little places
We're just part of your script

Well that ain't love, that ain't love
That ain't love at all
You only pick up the pieces you want
That ain't love at all
That ain't love at all

Well, something happened to you
When you were younger
To make you act this way
Living life like you're in danger
Of taking somebody's name

Come on, that ain't love, that ain't love
That ain't love at all
No, that ain't love, that ain't love
That ain't love at all
Because you only pick up
The pieces you want
That ain't love at all
No, that ain't love at all
