If it ain't love then
Let's don't even let it start
Lets leave it alone
If it ain't love then
Let's don't temp our foolish hearts
Lets leave it alone

Happiness is free just like a rollin' stone
And only love can make it stay at home
Feeling's have a way of mixin' right with wrong
If it ain't love let's leave it alone

If it ain't love then
Let's don't even let it start
Lets leave it alone
If it ain't love then
Let's don't temp our foolish hearts
Lets leave it alone

Togetherness can fade like the music of a song
It comes and goes like the breaking of the dawn
How could we hang on to somethin' that was gone
If it ain't love let's leave it alone

If it ain't love then
Let's don't even let it start
Lets leave it alone
If it ain't love then
Let's don't temp our foolish hearts
Lets leave it alone

If it ain't love then
Let's don't even let it start
Lets leave it alone
If it ain't love then
Let's don't temp our foolish hearts
Lets leave it alone
