    Bm
You tell me what you think I'm feelin'
You know why I do what I do
                A
Why should you listen to a word I'm sayin'
                   G             A
when it's already so clear to you?

Bm
You tell me 'bout my bad intentions
You doubt the very things I hold true
                 A
I can no longer live with your misconceptions
     G                    F#
Baby all I can say to you

Chorus:
F#         Bm
That ain't love,
    D                      G     A
I believe you've got the wrong emotion
A           Bm                G                 Bm
That ain't love, at least it doesn't feel like love
    A
to me
A              G
As long as I say what you wanna hear
 A                     F#m                  Bm
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
                  G          A
You think that's love, well baby that ain't love
    Bm G A G A
to me

We've got to talk it over sometime
These feelings won't just disappear
I'm just gonna keep telling you what's on my mind
Even if it's not what you wanna hear
Oooh right now your world and mine are such
different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like I'm speaking in a different
language
And the only words I haven't used, are

Chorus

          A
You keep tellin' me
D
You know a place where your life would be better
D               A         G
You're makin' plans long-range
Em            A           F#m       Bm
But I don't know how you expect to get there
G          Bm        A
When you refuse to change

Chorus

Ooh baby that ain't love
That ain't lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
That ain't love, oh no
Baby that ain't love, that ain't love
(That ain't love, that ain't love, oohoo
That ain't love, oohoo)
