Lyrics

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
