If It Isn't Love
"If It Isn't Love" is a 1988 song by American R&B quintet New Edition, and the first single from their fifth studio album, Heart Break. The song became the biggest hit from the aforementioned album, reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number seven, and reached the second position on the Hot Black Singles chart. Its chart performance and well-received music video garnered the quintet their first nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 31st Grammy Awards in February 1989. The song and video is also notable for being the introduction of fellow R&B singer Johnny Gill as a new member of the R&B quintet.

Lyrics
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 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
I told her I'd never fall in love but now I know better
How does it feel? I can't describe this feelin'
That came when I saw her last night
How she got to me, I'll let you know the reason
I saw her with another guy
So 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?
And 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
Maybe, she'll take me back
(Hey girl, he's beggin')
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?)
It took my heart to shatter in a thousand pieces
Before I'd ever drop my pride
Losing love, worryin' about my image
Really helped me realize
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
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, 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, 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, if it isn't love
