about

Inductive thinking about love.

lyrics

It Ain’t the stars in your eyes under a silver moonlight, or that walk that you walk or that talk you never talk.
It Ain’t that way that we touch I mean holding hands and such, or the things that you say in your own so precious way,
It Ain’t your oh so precious mind that’s a’ thinkinn’ all the time, or your tender open heart, been torn so many times apart.

(CHORUS)
Well I’ve always heard of love ever since I was a boy of all them crazy little things you’re going to cherish and enjoy.

Well I’ve grown a little older to know about that love, it seems I never should have listened when I knew I’d heard enough about love.
Now that’s what love is for.
-----------------
It Ain’t a dish that you cook or what you’re gonna to wear, or that way that you look or them wicked ways you care.
It Ain’t the goose bumps that I feel when we are together, I get them same funny feelings, from any cold Canadian weather.
It Ain’t a shiver down my spine I tend to get from morning light, or lying upon a cloud so fine as I awake from drink all night

(CHORUS)
Well I’d always hoped I’d meet you, the girl of my dreams, but that tender darling love it ain’t what it’s supposed to be.
Now that’s what love is for
-------------------
It Ain’t the blossoms in the spring or the waterfalls so charged with all them crazy little things - make me wanna live so large.
It Ain’t the thunder roarin’ out or the lightning in the skies, quenching a dry and thirsty drought, drumming out a heartbeat’s cry.
It Ain’t a mystery to me, I see the sparks when you’re around, it’s just plain energy, that’s what living’s all about.

(CHORUS)
That love so bright and rosy, to want it is a chore, let’s just share a drink together while we live and dance some more.
But that’s what love is for.
