Not a Love Song Lyrics by Donald Reid

In a Taxi Home

2006

[Verse 1]
I know it gets boring
Only hearing all these love songs day to day
Because you said it, I liked it
And it made more sense than letting it all fade away
[Chorus]
This is not a love song
Some cliche bullshit tune about things that can go wrong
No, this is not a love song
It only sounds like it 'cause you want it to be
And the words will just keep slipping through your mind
[Verse 2]
It's like a newscast, or it's drivel
Of war and how I'd been raised to right some wrong
But talk me through it
How do you find the peace if it hasn't been there all along?
[Chorus]
This is not a love song
Some cliche bullshit tune about things that can go wrong
No, this is not a love song
It only sounds like it 'cause you want it to be
And thе words will just keep slipping through your mind
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Sure enough, it'll get to your hеad
Like a drunk lover that falls into your bed
It's too easy, too easy
You shake the baby, you break the yolk
But a hard-on doesn't count as personal growth
It's too easy, too easy
Just say the devil made you do it
And you let it, let it, let it, yeah
Let it all fade away
Let it all fade away
Let it all fade away
Let it all fade away
[Chorus]
'Cause this is not a love song
Some cliche bullshit tune about things that can go wrong
No, this is not a love song
It only sounds like it 'cause you want it to be
And the words will just keep slipping through your mind
