| [Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant] I don't love her I tried to tell myself But you can see it in my eyes So don't deny I can't fool no one else The truth is in the tears I cry 'Cause... [Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition] If it isn't love Why do I feel this way? Why does she stay on my mind? If it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? Make me feel so sad inside If it isn't love [Post-Chorus: Ralph Tresvant] I told her I'd never fall in love But now I know better [Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant] How does it feel I can't describe this feeling That came when I saw her last night She got to me I'll let you know the reason I saw her with another guy So... [Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition] If it isn't love Why do I feel this way? Why does she stay on my mind? And if it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? Make me feel so sad inside If it isn't love [Bridge: Ralph Tresvant & (New Edition)] Maybe she'll take me back (Hey, girl, he's begging) I made a big mistake (Won't you forgive him, girl) Now I can feel it (He's never felt before) I really love her (You love her? What?) [Verse 3: Ralph Tresvant] It took my heart To shatter in a thousand pieces Before I'd ever drop my pride (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Losing love worrying about my image Really helped me realize [Chorus: New Edition & (Ralph Tresvant's ad-libs)] If it isn't love Why do I feel this way? (Why does it hurt so bad?) Why does she stay on my mind? (On my mind all the time) If it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? (If it isn't love) Make me feel so sad inside (If it isn't love) If it isn't love If it isn't love (Woo) Why do I feel this way? (Why?) Why does she stay on my mind? (She stays on my mind, mind, mind) If it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? (Why does it hurt so bad?) Make me feel so sad inside (Why?) If it isn't love (If it isn't love) Why do I feel this way? (If it isn't love) Why does she stay on my mind? (If it isn't love) If it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? (If it isn't love) Make me feel so sad inside (If it isn't, I can't describe this feeling that I feel for her) If it isn't love Why do I feel this way? Why does she stay on my mind? (Stay on my mind) If it isn't love Why does it hurt so bad? Make me feel so sad inside [Outro: Ralph Tresvant] If it isn't love If it isn't love |
