About The Song

“It Ain’t Nothin'” is a song written by Tony Haselden, and recorded by American country music artist Keith Whitley. It was posthumously released in October 1989 as the second single from the album I Wonder Do You Think of Me. His fifth and last No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, the song was his second posthumous chart-topper, reaching the top of the chart seven months after his death.

The song spent one week at No. 1 and 17 weeks in the Hot Country Singles chart’s top 40.
A music video was released of the song, and has aired on The Nashville Network, CMT and Great American Country. The music video shows pictures a la Knots Landing fashion and are a montage of Whitley throughout his life, from early childhood through shortly before his death.

Lyrics

My boss is the boss’s son
And that makes for a real long day
When that day is finally done
I’m facin’ forty-thousand cars on the interstate
Feelin’ lower than a well digger’s shoes
Knee deep in a mess of blues
But those blues just fade away when I hear my baby say
It ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love won’t fix
It ain’t nothin’ but a scratch, a little bit of love can’t stitch
It ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love can’t heal
Your love makes me feel
No matter what hand life deals
It ain’t nothin’
It ain’t nothin’
It was written all over her face
She was about to climb the walls
She said you gotta get me out of this place
‘Cause even Cinderella got to go to the ball
If you multiply hell times three
That’s what this day’s been like for me
I said, “Honey, we’ll do the town
Just don’t let it get you down”
‘Cause it ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love won’t fix
It ain’t nothin’ but a scratch, a little bit of love can stitch
It ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love can’t heal
Your love makes me feel
No matter what hand life deals
It ain’t nothin’
It ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love won’t fix
It ain’t nothin’ but a scratch, a little bit of love can stitch
It ain’t nothin’ a little bit of love can’t heal
Your love makes me feel
No matter hand life deals
It ain’t nothin’
It ain’t nothin’
Naw, it ain’t nothin’
It ain’t nothin’
Naw, it ain’t nothin’
Well, it ain’t nothin’
Naw, it ain’t nothin’
Naw, it ain’t nothin’
It ain’t nothin’
Naw, it ain’t nothin’
