Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You got a snazzy new car in your driveway
Expensive new clothes on your back
Every short skirt on the highway
Has spent time in your bachelor pad
We dance, and you look over my shoulder
And make eyes at somebody else
You swear that you're not, but you know that's a croc
'Cause you only care for yourself
Your attitude stinks, and I hate it
You're arrogant, cocky, and rude
You're selfish, conceited, and jaded
Everything's all about you
You think that I'm lucky to have you
You think you're so handsome, so what?
I'm callin' you out 'cause I don't need this crap
I'm gettin' myself outta Dodge
'Cause you don't know love from Shinola
With you, love is not what I found
A woman needs someone to hold her
Not someone to just lay her down
I want someone I can count on
A cool-headed, warm heart and shoulder
To cry on, rely on, today and from now on
But you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, from Shinola
(You don't know love)
Oh, but I gave you love and affection
But you never gave one iota
It was an early detection
That you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love from Shinola
You don't know what true loves about
Well, you'll find your world growin' colder
When you're alone and without
So go on, lover boy, have a big time (have a big time)
Drink up on your Bourbon and cola
When you sober up, you'll be - outta luck
'Cause you don't know love from Shinola
I'm in it for love, but you're just plain stuck
You don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, you don't know love
You don't know love (from Shinola)
No, you don't know love from Shinola (you don't know love)
You don't know love, you don't know love (you don't, you don't)
You don't, you don't, you don't know love
