Not the Lovin' Kind
Love's Departure: Nancy Sinatra's Not the Lovin' Kind Revealed
Lyrics
Tell you babe. im not the lovin' kind
Asserting that the speaker is not inclined towards love or affection.
So you'd better get it right off of your mind
Advising the listener to understand this fact immediately.
I'll give you money, I don't care
Offering material wealth without concern.
I'll take you with me, anywhere
Willingness to accompany the listener anywhere.
Oh, tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
Reiterating the lack of inclination for love.
Tell you babe I'm not the lovin' kind
Repeating the assertion of not being inclined towards love.
Get you somebody else,
Encouraging the listener to seek another partner.
And you'll do just fine
Assuring that the listener will find someone suitable.
Cast your tears into the sea
Encouraging the listener to let go of emotional distress.
Don't waste your tears on me
Advising not to waste emotional energy on the speaker.
I tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
Reaffirming the lack of inclination for love.
I tell you baby I'm not the lovin' kind
Reiterating the absence of love or affection.
So you'd better move on down the line
Advising the listener to move on from pursuing the speaker.
I told you do
Confirming previous advice given to the listener.
I've never lie
Asserting honesty and truthfulness.
Loves a train I never ride
Comparing love to a mode of transportation (train) the speaker avoids.
Oh tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
Reiterating the lack of inclination towards love.
I told you so, I've never lied
Reaffirming honesty and truthfulness.
Loves a train I'll never ride
Reiterating the avoidance of engaging in love or relationships.
Oh tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
Reiterating the lack of inclination towards love.
