Rewrite of Whitesnake's Is This Love

You should have known better

Then to leave me alone with my thoughts

It's times like these

I'm more sure then ever

Baby, without you

I can make it on my own

Wasted one too many of my days

Cost me one too many sleepless nights

And I'm starting not to care

If I ever see you again

I've found lately

I've spent too much of my time

Waiting on your call

How can I make you understand baby?

I'm sick of livin'

With my back againest your wall

Finally I think I can see clear

I don't need you by my side

To tell me it's gonna be alright

Cos I  don't think your shit

I can take

One minute more

This ain't love that I'm feeling

This ain't the love I've been searching for

This ain't the love I've been dreaming of

This must not be love

Cos boy I think you're startin' to

Lose whatever hold you once had on me

Your hold on me...

I can't stop feeling

You don't want a girlfriend

All you want is a whore

With you I can't be me

So upon this fake romance

Forever I think I'll be shuttin' the door

I can feel my contempt for you

Growing stronger day by day

An'  I can hardly wait

Till that day comes

When never do I have to see your face again

So I can hold another

I really adore

In my arms

This ain't love that I'm feeling

This ain't the love that I've been searching for

This ain't love

Boy, if you think it is

You really must  be dreamin'

This must not be love

Cos baby I know you're starting see

Whatever hold you had on me

You're losin'

Whatever hold you had on me...

This ain't love that I'm feeling

This ain't the love I've been searching for

Honey, if you think it is

Then you really must be dreamin'

No, this ain't the love I've been searching for....
