I don't know what love is  

Posted by Ryan Woods

Read the lyrics to this popular song. I've attempted to cut out some of the lyrics because it's a hugely long song. But you'll still be able to get the general idea. It's a beautiful song about love.


Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba
da da)

It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound
like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a
new girlfriend

And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a
chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag
is wavin'

I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my
tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is

We
even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I
know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal
son of a gun
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own
ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)

It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure

Take a look at my
girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a
girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man
bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of
course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for
three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it
dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I
keep her picture in my wallet like here


If that ain't love I don't know what love is...


I fear that their expectations of what love is is exceedingly too low. Who wants to take the initiative to tell these guys that they don't know what love is?

PS Is this whole song supposed to be a joke? Is that the point of the song, that she's not much of a girl friend? If it is supposed to be a joke, then well played ol' boy. If it's not...well...my initial thought stands.

6 additions to the conversation

1) I like the Supertramp version better. Something tells me that Kaydub does too (I don't know why, but... it's true.)

2)I do not like Gym Class Heros

3) I'm so glad that your son loves this song (you know he does...)

4) I think it is a joke. She's a bad girlfriend.

end transmission.

I don't know if she's a good or bad girlfriend but that song sure is long! It's like a mix of a junior high love and an adult life...

Well, I was just glad you posted this song because I love the sound of the song, not necessarily the words. However, that is due to the fact that I thought he was saying "not much of a girlfriend...never seem to get it up"....I realized the other day this is why I like country music. I can always understand the lyrics. : )And of coarse I live in Idaho, I don't have an option.

Brahim... you shut your mouth. You keep the West Side in you till you DIE! Don't let the (ida) Ho bring you down! BE STRONG!

badly written poetry. but at least they value the small things in life.

Wha? Are you telling me that there IS another version other than Supertramp? Stop pulling my leg!
