I'm Not Gonna Write You a Love Song

An ironic piece on love and its many forms.

I'm Not Gonna Write You a Love Song

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Flowers and candy? Ah, no.

You'll never hear sweet nothings from my lips

And that dance that you love? I don't DO slow.

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Or wax poetry about the stars in your eyes

You'll never hear 'bout my tattoo with your name

I won't admit how you're the light in my skies.

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Won't ever hand you a ring

And those sap sticky romantic novels?

Honey, that just ain't my thing.

I'm not gonna write you a love song

Won't name all the things I adore

Won't tell you how much I love you

(Whatever you have, it's more)

I'm not gonna write you a love song

All my affections will remain unsaid

And no matter how much I love you,

My lyrics will stay in my head.
