It's not a big (D) deal, cause I (C) know, when push comes to (G) shove,
    I know where we (D) stand,  (C) 'cause this ain't about (G) love.

Your keys are on the dresser, I got mine right here,
don't forget your briefcase, like last week, my dear,
we just have time for a quick jolt of caffeine,
funny how we've settled into a kind of routine,

    It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
    I know where we stand,  'cause this ain't about love.

I couldn't love a man that I don't respect,
but a woman wants more than she has a right to expect
but you don't need respect to be good in the sack
it ain't about love, its about what we lack

    It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
    I know where we stand,  'cause this ain't about love.

so I go home to my husband, and you to your wife
to our assorted children, our suburban life
and when the hammer comes down from the powers above
we'll say 'but this ain't about that, it ain't about love"

    It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
    I know where we stand,  'cause this ain't about love.
    It's not a big deal, cause I know, when push comes to shove,
    I know where we stand,  'cause this ain't about love.
