It Ain't Love

(album: 1927 - 1992)

Darling, won't you help me
It's a confession, a depression
I'm over loaded with questions about love
About life
I see answers like dancers
They're spinning all around me

Is it love?
If it's one night, a delight
And makes you feel alright
It ain't love
If it don't hurt you, or desert you
Or bring you down to your knees
It ain't love

Love it's a minefield
It's a highwire, an onion
A rope bridge over a canyon
Love, it's a wonder
It's a first kiss, you can't keep it
And it'll haunt you deep in your sleep

Is it love?
If it's one night, a delight
Makes you feel alright
It ain't love

If it don't tease you, or please you
Or burn you deep inside
It ain't love love

When the morning sun softly warms your face
You've got love like shimmering stars in a desert sky
C'mon don't hold back now
Don't hold back now love
Don't take it away
