It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad)

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
