Lyrics
That Ain?t Love
Marghi Allen
(c) 1988
You told me love can?t last forever
You said it?s just a fleeting thing
It comes and it goes and you never
Know just how or where or when
It?s going to end
And then you just turned away
You never even looked back that day
That ain?t love
No that ain?t love
That ain?t love
That ain?t love.
I?ve seen you out there changing partners
I?ve seen you out there making your rounds
And she?s always the right one
And you always swear you are settling down
But something always goes wrong
It doesn?t last very long
That ain?t love
No that ain?t love
That ain?t love
That ain?t love.
My love for you grew slow inside me
Until it filled up every pore
And it took me a long, long, long, long time
Not to want you anymore.
Now you tell me that you?re worn down
Been around a few times and you know
Your love for me it was the real thing
And now you want to come back home
Well it would be a crime
To fall for you a second time
That ain?t love
No that ain?t love
That ain?t love
That ain?t love.
