Is Eli Young Band’s ‘Love Ain’t’ a Hit? Listen and Sound Off!
Eli Young Band's "Love Ain't" is a reminder of the power of true love. While the lyrics include a laundry list of things that showcase the opposite of love, the Texas natives get their point across clearly.
"Love ain't you on a sidewalk in your new dress all alone / Love ain't you calling me 'cause he ain't picking up his phone / The way you're talking sounds like he's somebody you should hate / I may not know what love is, girl, but I know what love ain't," Eli Young Band assert on the song's singalong chorus.
"Love Ain't" includes a melody that sticks like glue while booming percussion and ear-grabbing guitar parts flesh out the song. Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley and Shane McAnally wrote "Love Ain't," and Dann Huff produced it.
"Love Ain't always easy ... but that’s when it matters most," lead singer Mike Eli shares in the new music video for the song. The clip follows military veteran Taylor Morris and his wife, Danielle, as they navigate a new life together after the soldier becomes a quadruple amputee due to an explosion in Afghanistan. The video brings awareness to the Wounded Warrior Project and shows the power of love between the couple as Danielle dropped everything to be with Taylor in his time of need. It's the perfect love story to pair with "Love Ain't."
Eli Young Band's "Love Ain't" Lyrics:
Hotels are made for two night stays / Checking in and out / Meeting strangers in the lobby / Waking up and leaving town / The next day / But love ain't
And whiskey's poured for when you're bored / And alone on Friday night / When you want to lose yourself / And need a place to hide / From all the pain / But love ain't
Chorus:
Love ain't you on a sidewalk in your new dress all alone / Love ain't you calling me 'cause he ain't picking up his phone / The way you're talking sounds like he's somebody you should hate / I may not know what love is girl, but I know what love ain't / Come over let me show you what he can't / 'Cause he can only show you what love ain't
Sad movies are for crying on the couch / There in the dark / That sad song it was written / Just to try and get your heart to break / But love ain't
Chorus:
Love ain't / I wonder what he's doing / Love ain't / Feeling like a fool and you can't / Keep letting him do it to you
Chorus:
I may not know what love is girl, but I know what love ain't / Come over let me show you what he can't / 'Cause he can only show you what love ain't / Love ain't, love ain't / Love ain't, love ain't
