IT’S NOT LOVE
It’s not love, I don’t know what gave you that notion
when I’m with you, I don’t care if you’re just going through the motions
You say you don’t want to hurt me and leave me blue
but what is the downside to being with you
It’s not love, more like an infatuation
I’m looking for a friend and a lover, not a full time relation
You say that because you don’t feel the way I do, things must end
you say to go on you would be using me, so you can only be my friend
It’s not love, that gets me so crazed
it’s just that you never cease to amaze
It’s not love that has me about to bust
it’s just your body that has me in such lust
It’s not love, for which I’m looking
it’s just your smile that has my juices cooking
It’s not love, that I want from you
It’s just to be friends and do what we do
It’s not love, so don’t feel like you’re using me and I might be sad
because what we’ve had is give and take and that’s not bad
It’s not love, but there is one thing that would make me glad
that’s to go back to being friends the way we had
It’s not love, that makes me want you near
it’s just your laugh that I want to hear
It’s not love, listen to what I say
I’m out to have some fun, I just want to play
It’s not love, because there are times in life and this is one of those times
sometimes when you hear a verse, a rhyme is just a rhyme
It’s not love, but I feel like a wandering Noam
and sometimes a poem is just a poem
It’s not love, but you are my inspiration
without you my life would not have had it’s restoration
It’s not love, because sometimes a friend is just a friend
and sometimes a friend can bring you back from the darkness within
It’s not love, and I know it never will
I know from you, you just want to keep it real
From me, the message I want to send
I will do anything to not lose you as a friend
