it s not love

Merle Haggard

She was always there each time I needed you,
Holding on to me like I held on to you,
We still don't have what you and I once had;
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love,
But it keeps love from driving me mad;
And I don't have to wonder who she's had.
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad

I turn to her when you leave me alone,
Sometimes even when you're here, and you're still gone.
She'e slowly changing what you leave so sad;
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.

No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love,
But it keeps love from driving me mad;
And I don't have to wonder who she's had.
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad
