U Know it Ain't Love
R.J. feat. Pitbull Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love to hate me
I love that you hate me greatly
I appreciate your love

If you want me now
Celebrate the love that we have inside
Like a full moon rise
Right here into my arms
Every day I feel I can live or die
If you realize

When you walk right out my life
I don’t wanna lose the fight
But I can’t seem to forget you
Even though we’re through

You know it ain’t love, oh oh oh
Why am I lost without your touch
You know it ain’t love, oh oh oh
Cause this feeling is too much
You know it ain’t love

Uh, yeah
Mami raps right
So I pulled out my d*ck and told her to
Speak into the mic
You love me, you hate me
To those that love to hate me
I love that you hate me greatly
I appreciate your love
You can throw me in a bendable chair

You know it ain’t love
You know it ain’t love
Cause when you open up inside
I can’t keep you from my eyes
You know it ain’t love

I’ve been politically incorrect since the day I was born
That’s why ’til the day that I die it’s on
I’ma fight for the cause
When the pit bites, you know what happens to the jaw
F*ck around and it might be your
Big L, big pun, BIG

Why are you so bad
This means a heart that burns the fire
Can make us higher
You just make me feel sad
This was the best thing I could ever have
That’s the word you said
I was wrong I did not tell you
When I needed you
Set me free, why me
But I can’t seem to stop dreaming with all these demons

You know it ain’t love, oh oh oh
Why am I lost without your touch
You know it ain’t love, oh oh oh
Cause this feeling is too much
You know it ain’t… know it ain’t
You know it ain’t love

Chances are one in a million
I hear you died in a plane crash
So I guess that makes us one in a million
May you rest in peace
But that’s your job
Destiny is somethin’ that you just can’t cheat
If you’re destined to die, it’s just your time, live with me
You don’t think that

You know it ain’t love
No baby
You know it ain’t love
Cause when you open up inside
I can’t keep you from my eyes
You know it ain’t love, yeah
You know it ain’t love
Said, you know it ain’t love baby




Don’t tell me, when you know, when you know
You know it ain’t love

Overall Meaning

The song U Know It Ain't Love by R.J. feat. Pitbull is about a problematic relationship between two people who have strong feelings for each other but are unable to work things out. The chorus implies that they both know their relationship is not based on love, but they are struggling to move on from each other. The singer is torn between his desire to fight for the relationship and his realization that it may not be worth it.


The first verse indicates that the singer appreciates the intensity of the other person's feeling, even if they are negative. The hope is that they can both recognize the love they have for each other and work it out. However, the following lines imply that this is easier said than done. The singer is struggling to let go of the other person, even though they have already moved on.


The second verse takes a darker turn with Pitbull's rapping. He acknowledges that he is not politically correct but is willing to fight for what he believes in. He then makes a reference to several famous rappers who have died, implying that life is precious and should not be wasted on something that isn't love. The bridge brings the focus back to the singer and his struggles with the relationship. He can't seem to move on even though he knows it's not love.
