Lyrics
I'm not in love
Denial of being in love
So don't forget it
Emphasizing the previous statement
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
Describing feelings as temporary and transient
And just because
Stating a reason for behavior or actions
I call you up
Reaching out without romantic intentions
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
Clarifying intentions to avoid misunderstandings
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Reiteration of not being in love
I like to see you
Enjoying the company of the person
But then again
Downplaying the significance of the relationship
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
Emphasizing lack of deep emotional attachment
So if I call you
Indicating future contact without commitment
Don't make a fuss
Requesting not to overreact
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
Keeping the relationship discreet
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Reaffirming the absence of love
I keep your picture
Maintaining a token of the person but with a hidden purpose
Upon the wall
Using an object to conceal a flaw or issue
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
Refusing to return the item, indicating indifference
So don't you ask me
Anticipating a question about the item
To give it back
Rejecting the request, emphasizing lack of value
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
Reiterating lack of attachment to the item
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Reiteration of not being in love
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Emphasizing the time it would take for a change in feelings
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
Restating the denial of love
So don't forget it
Reemphasizing the initial denial
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
Reiteration of feelings being temporary
And just because I call you up
Repeated action without romantic intentions
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
Reiterating the need for clear understanding
I'm not in love
Final affirmation of not being in love
I'm not in love
Reiteration of the central statement
