If It Ain't True (Then It Just Ain't Love)

I’M THE FIRST TO ADMIT IT:
IF I KNEW WHAT LOVE IS,
BY NOW, I’D HAVE
MY HEART’S DESIRE.
I KNOW IT’S MORE THAN A THRILL
IN-BETWEEN YOUR RIBS.
ANTIQUE OR NEW,
LOVE CAN INSPIRE. BUT

(CHORUS)
IF IT AIN’T TRUE,
THEN, IT JUST AIN’T LOVE.
INDEPENDENT ME, I LONG FOR
A MAN WHO’S DEPENDABLE.
ROMANCE CAN BE ROMANTIC
BUT OH, SO ENDABLE.
IF IT AIN’T TRUE,
THEN, IT JUST AIN’T LOVE.

NEXT SATURDAY MORNING,
WILL HE BE AT THE FLEA MARKET?
WHAT IF HE FINDS
HIS HEART’S DESIRE:
SOMETHING SLIGHTLY WORN BUT LOVELY
THAT’S BEEN TOSSED ASIDE--
LIKE THIS STEADFAST HEART
HURT BY A LIAR? WELL,

(REPEAT CHORUS)

LIKE AN OLD VALENTINE,
HE MAY SAY “PLEASE BE MINE.”
WILL I KNOW IF IT’S REAL?
LET HIS ACTIONS REVEAL, THAT

(REPEAT CHORUS)
