This Ain't No Love Song
Trace Adkins Lyrics

Well my heart didn't skip a beat
I didn't feel any emotional attraction or infatuation when I first saw you.

When I saw you standing there
When I first noticed your physical presence.

Looking like some kind of angel
Appearing almost divine and heavenly.

Like you were walking on air
Moving gracefully and weightlessly.

And the earth didn't move
There was no significant impact on my life or feelings when you first interacted with me.

When you first said my name
When you addressed me directly for the first time.

I didn't feel a thing, no not me,
I didn't experience any emotional or physical sensations in response to your initial presence or interaction.

This ain't no love song
I'm not expressing any strong romantic feelings, just enjoying playing my guitar and singing about you.

I just felt getting my guitar on and singing a tune
I simply had the urge to play music and create a song.

Singing about you yeah
Incorporating you as the inspiration for the song's lyrics.

Feeling good and tapping my shoes
Enjoying the process of creating music and the energy that comes with it.

And all this stuff I'm making up well you probably
The lyrics and melody of this song are likely to remain personal and not become commercially successful.

Won't be hearing it on the radio but then you never know
It's possible this song could become popular despite my expectations.

So baby if you want
If you'd like to join in and sing along with me.

You can sing along
You have the option to participate in the song creation.

But this ain't no love song
This isn't a declaration of affection, just a tune I'm playing.

I couldn't sleep last night
I struggled to fall and stay asleep recently.

But you weren't on my mind
I wasn't thinking specifically about you during my sleep struggles.

And I went for a drive last night
I took a car ride in the evening.

But if you saw me driving by
If you happened to witness me travelling in my car.

Well I must've took a wrong turn
I potentially made a navigational error while driving.

I must've been thinking bout something else
My mind was likely preoccupied with other thoughts during my drive.

Had a melody in my head yeah maybe that's why
I had a tune in my mind that might have distracted me while driving.

This ain't no love song
Reiterating that this song isn't about expressing love, just a musical creation about you.

All night long
Continuing to sing and play music for an extended period of time.

Yeah half this stuff I'm making up well
Admitting that the song's lyrics are only partially inspired by you and largely improvised.

You probably won't be hearing it on the radio
Reiterating that this song is unlikely to receive commercial success or airtime.

But then you never know
Still acknowledging the possibility that the song could become unexpectedly popular.

Love song, love song, love song
Repeating the phrase 'love song' to emphasize that this isn't one.
