Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

This is a country song about marital infidelity, and it occurred to me in the parking lot after working out. Must be that increased blood flow to the brain. One reviewer on another site described it as "kind of depressing." Cate

Lyrics

It Ain't About Love

words and music by Cate Doefer and Tim Foley

(G) Hey, its time to get up, get (C) dressed, get going,
(D) you need to be (C) ready, 'cause I know that you're (G) knowing
(G) the red eye arrives on the (C) button at dawn,
(D) don't worry (C) sugar, I'm already (G) gone


It's not a big (D) deal, cause I (C) know, when push comes to (G) shove,
I know where we (D) stand, (C) 'cause this ain't about (G) love.


Your keys are on the dresser, I got mine right here,
don't forget your briefcase, like last week, my dear,
we just have time for a quick jolt of caffeine,
funny how we've settled into a kind of routine,


It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
I know where we stand, 'cause this ain't about love.


I couldn't love a man that I don't respect,
but a woman wants more than she has a right to expect;
but you don't need respect to be good in the sack.
It ain't about love, it's about what we lack.


It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
I know where we stand, 'cause this ain't about love.


so I go home to my husband, and you to your wife,
to our assorted children, our suburban life,
and when the hammer comes down from the powers above,
we'll say "But this ain't about that, it ain't about love."


It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
I know where we stand, 'cause this ain't about love.


It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
I know where we stand, 'cause this ain't about love.

Music and Lyrics April 2004.

Listener comments about this song

Thanks for the great song It Ain't About Love. It doesn't ring of infidelity to me. Just a very pretty song. Chili (talk/contribs) 08:08, June 10, 2008 (AKDT)
