That Ain't Love
Robert Cray Lyrics
From out of the darkness
Beneath the lights
Right there
Off of main street
The mystery takes control of a man
And it drops them to their knees
Makes me question who I am
I've got to leave this place because
On a warm, warm summer night
I feel a chill shake right through me
From my head down to the ground
You have become my fantasy
When no one else is around!
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love
You walk with a vengeance
And the clothes you wear
Are part of the spell that you cast
Like a watch on a chain
You hypnotize me
But I just, I just
Can't take a chance
I don't belong beneath the lights
Right there off of main street
Least now I know just who I am
It's not somewhere I want to be
When no one else is around
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!
I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!
That ain't love!
No, no, no!
That ain't love!
You're just a fantasy, baby!
That ain't love!
That ain't love!
What goes on down on main street
That ain't love!
That ain't love!
You're just a fantasy, baby!
That ain't love!
And you might not even be a woman!
No, no, no!
That ain't love!
Ewwwwwww!

Robert Cray (born August 1, 1953, Columbus, Georgia) is an American blues guitarist and singer. A five-time Grammy Award winner, he has led his own band (the Robert Cray Band), as well as an acclaimed solo career. In 2011, Cray was inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame.
While Cray was among artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood who got wider radio airplay and regular MTV video exposure during the late 1980s, he started playing guitar in his early teens.

While Cray was among artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood who got wider radio airplay and regular MTV video exposure during the late 1980s, he started playing guitar in his early teens. At Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia, his love of blues and soul music flourished as he started collecting records. Originally, Robert Cray wanted to become an architect, but at about the same time he was going to study design in architecture he formed a local band "Steakface", described as "the best band from Lakewood you never heard of". Cray on guitar and vocals contributed greatly to Steakface's set list of songs by Jimi Hendrix, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fleetwood Mac, the Grease Band, Blodwyn Pig, Jethro Tull, Forever More, Spirit, and The Faces.
By the time he was twenty, Cray had seen his heroes Albert Collins, Freddie King and Muddy Waters in concert, and decided to form his own band. His band started playing college towns on the west coast. After several years of regional success, Cray was signed to Mercury Records in 1982. His third release, Strong Persuader, received a Grammy Award, while the crossover single "Smokin' Gun" gave him wider appeal and name recognition.
By then Cray was an opening act for such major stars as Eric Clapton (who remains a friend to this day), and sold out larger venues as a solo artist. Cray has generally played Fender guitars (Telecasters and Stratocasters) and there are two signature Robert Cray Stratocasters models available from Fender.
Cray continues to record and tour.
