Lyrics
I'm not in love
Expressing not being in love
So don't forget it
Emphasizing the point, urging not to forget
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
Describing the feeling as a temporary phase
And just because
Clarifying the reason behind the actions
I call you up
Referencing making calls without romantic intent
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
Cautioning against misunderstanding the calls
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Reiterating not being in love
I like to see you
Expressing enjoyment in seeing the person
But then again
Balancing the enjoyment with lack of deep feelings
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
Downplaying the importance of the person
So if I call you
Contextualizing future calls without commitment
Don't make a fuss
Requesting not to make a big deal out of the calls
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
Asking for discretion about any connection
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Reaffirming the absence of love
I keep your picture
Keeping a picture for a different reason than affection
Upon the wall
Using the picture to hide a blemish
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
Connecting the picture to concealing a stain
So don't you ask me
Asserting a lack of emotional attachment to the picture
To give it back
Resisting returning the picture due to its insignificance
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
Acknowledging the recipient's understanding of its unimportance
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Reaffirming the absence of love regarding the picture
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Implying a significant wait due to lack of romantic involvement
Ooh you'll wait a long time
-Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
-Ooh you'll wait a long time
-I'm not in love
Repeating the assertion of not being in love
So don't forget it
Reiterating the temporary nature of the feelings
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
Re-emphasizing the phase-like quality of emotions
And just because I call you up
Repeating the act of making calls without romantic intent
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
Reiterating caution against misinterpretation
I'm not in love
Final reassertion of not being in love
I'm not in love
