Love Ain't Like That
Unveiling the Complex Tapestry of Love: Faith Hill's 'Love Ain't Like That'
Lyrics
You can't buy it at a store
You cannot purchase love from a store.
Try it on for size
Love cannot be tested or experimented with like trying on clothes for fit.
Then bring it back if it don't feel right
If love doesn't feel right, you can't simply return it as you would with a store-bought item.
No love, love ain't like that
Love does not conform to the expectations of immediate satisfaction or convenience.
You can't trade it in
Love is not something you can exchange or replace like an old car.
Like an automobile
Comparing love to an automobile, emphasizing that it's not a material possession.
That's got too many miles an' rust on its wheels
Old and worn-out relationships can't be easily traded in for new ones.
No love, love ain't like that
Reiterating that love doesn't follow the rules of material transactions.
Love ain't that easy to define
Defining love as something complex and not easily explained.
You can't build it by design
Building love is not a conscious, planned effort; it evolves organically.
It takes its own sweet time
Love takes time to develop and mature naturally.
It don't fall from the sky
Love doesn't come suddenly or unexpectedly like a drop of rain from the sky.
Like a tiny drop of rain
Contrasting the gradual nature of love with the sudden impact of raindrops.
That hits you right between the eyes one day
Love is not an instantaneous, dramatic experience; it unfolds over time.
No love, love ain't like that
Repeating that love doesn't conform to quick and immediate expectations.
You can't put your money down
You can't gamble on love as if it were a game of chance.
An' just roll the dice
Emphasizing that love is not something to be won or lost through luck.
Think you're gonna win it all some night
Rejecting the idea that love can be won through random chance or risk-taking.
No love, love ain't like that
Restating that love doesn't adhere to simplistic or game-like scenarios.
Love ain't that easy to define
Love is complex and cannot be easily defined or put into words.
You can't build it by design
Reiterating that love is not a product of conscious planning or design.
It takes its own sweet time
Emphasizing that love unfolds in its own time, not according to a set schedule.
You can't buy it at a store
Repeating the idea that love is not a commodity available for purchase.
Try it on for size
Similar to line 2, underscoring that love cannot be tried on like clothing.
Then bring it back if it don't feel right
If love doesn't feel right, it can't be returned like a product to a store.
No love, love ain't like that
Reiterating that love does not conform to the transactional nature of a store purchase.
