(Larry E Cordle - Larry Shell - Betty Key)
They say that once the new wears off
The test of love begins
When the spark that lit the fire won't burn
As bright as it once did
If lovers lose that old desire
Hearts can break in two
The hard work starts when it ain't nothin' new
Chorus
It ain't nothin' new but after all this time
This love of ours still hasn't lost it's shine
It's makin' up when we've been mad that I look forward to
Even though it ain't nothin' new
Now love don't come as easy as once it did and so
Sometimes we seem to say the things that cut and hurt the most
But then we pull together and somehow see it through
That's what it takes when it ain't nothin' new
Chorus
