Not a Love Song

from Real Deal by Elaine Romanelli

/

lyrics

You’ve been seducing me for years
And each time we meet you dance a little nearer
You magnetize me to stay here
You are hypnotic like a magic mirror

But my doubts swirl around
I won’t let this get off the ground
I run away

So this is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Not today

You have your faults, and so do I
But yours are catastrophically depressing
Yet when I’m with you, we get by
I find myself compulsively obsessing

What would I sacrifice
Is the thrill worth the price
Would I feel home at last

But this is not a love song
This is not a love song...
Not so fast

And yet I love the light you fling into the sky
I love your unsurpassable charm
I feel alive as nowhere else in life
With you

So please don’t twirl me round the floor
Do not caress the air around my shoulders
Our fit gets harder to ignore
Each dance away leaves me a little colder

You are like honey wine
Intoxicating over time
I love every taste I get

But this is not a love song...
Not yet
