Here I am by myself again
Seems that's the only way my story ends
I couldn't live with her, miss her now she's gone
I know some other man's gonna take her before too long
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
I got so lonesome, made a date with a whore
We just sat on my hotel bed, talked 4, 5 hours or more
I made her wear your red dress you left in a bureau drawer
All it did was make me cry and we just talked some more
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
I ain't feelin' so good this evening, wanna rest my head
I'm gonna drink a little more breakfast then I'm going back to bed
I didn't mean to get this drank but you understand the way it is
Sometimes it's easier to lay in bed than face the world and live
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Seems I mess up everything, women in my life
I got a little son in New York and I used to have a wife
Ain't nothing I can say, ain't nothing I can do
But write your name on my list and sing my song for you
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
Is that what love is?
