This Ain't A Love Song Lyrics
Bon Jovi
Lyrics
Should seen it coming when roses died
Should seen the end of summer, in your eyes
Should listened, you said goodnight
You really meant goodbye.
Baby ain't it funny how you never ever learn to fall?
You're really on your knees,
you think you're standing tall
But only fools, are! know-it-alls
And I played that, fool for you.
I cried and I cried
There were nights that I, died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny
Love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I've got for you's gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song.
Baby I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the, perfect crime
But we were just a legend, in my mind
I guess that I was blind.
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
Clowns wore smiles, that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things, never change.
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it, bad, for us baby
And now it's so sad that whatever we, had ain't worth saving
Oh-ooh, oh-oooh
If the love that I got for you's gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason, I'm holding! on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Oooh-oh
I cried and I cried
There were nights that I, died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny your, love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I got for you's gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason, I'm holding! on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song.
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song.
Then I'm wrong
Yeah I'm wrong!
This ain't a love song.
