If It Ain't Love... Lyrics

She got dressed, grabbed her belongings

She said I'll call you in the morning

She stepped out the side door, hopped on the train

In her heels, hair wet, rain pouring

At a time when my ego should be soaring

She's sayin' that less is more

And I can't help but feel she's reinvented the wheel

And suddenly I'm less important

Which no doubt begs the question

When did this thing switch directions?

All this time I was usin' you and haven't had a clue

As to what it is that you've been gettin'

Or better yet what you've been taking

It's clear that I've been taken

It's clear as day I'm in the dark

You talk the talk but I ain't speakin' your language

But I'm on to you

I've got you figured out

You're as addicted as me and we both can't go without

But we're in this together

Yeah, I'm sure you're the one

'Cause I know if it ain't love it must be the drugs

We play the game we're supposed to

So I don't understand this role reversal

You've parted my heart

And taught me to play a new part with no dress rehearsal

And, yes, I'll admit it, though it hurts to

I miss havin' you under my grip

But the tables have turned, I need somebody to love

I want you to be my Grace Slick

I call and only get your voicemail

A step behind like I was ridin' your coattails

In control from head to toe

You know, sweetheart, you wear red so well

You're a high I'll never come down from

And the longer you're here the more clear the outcome

But you and I can talk about this another time

'Cause I know that they're tryin' to out us

But they're on to us

They've got us figured out

We're both addicted like hell and we refuse to go without

But we're in this together

Yeah I'm sure you're the one

'Cause I know if it ain't love

It must be the drugs

It's not just the fact that I need you

Or even that I'm scared to leave you

It's me askin' to be dependent

And the question of why you agree to it

But maybe you like the attention

Maybe you're a little passive aggressive

But I know my Hendrix is complimented by you

My little heroin injection

And I know you deserve what you get

'Cause we've earned everything that we've kept

And they can't stand the sight of our glide

To the beat that bangs behind your chest

And they say that we don't match

Well I can't teach you how to dress

But I damn sure can teach you how to break a heart in just 12 steps

'Cause I'm on to you

I've got you figured out

You're as addicted as me

And we both can't go without

But we're in this together

Yeah I'm sure you're the one

'Cause I know if it ain't love

It must be the drugs

But you're on to me

You've got me figured out

I'm addicted as all hell

And I refuse to go without

But I'm into you

And I'm sure you're the one

'Cause I know if it ain't love

It must be the drugs

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

It must be the drugs

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go

I need this

I want this

I just can't let go
