If You Don't Wanna Love Me

If you don't wanna love me Then I'll find somebody else who will Find another kind of thrill Find another way to fill this loneliness A married couple with kids and a family pet He takes for granted that it's all good, and things are set But she feels no passion in the romance It's been a year since they had their last slow dance Even worse her husband treats her like an ornament Every other week the kids have a tournament A team meeting or somewhere they gotta be But her heart's screamin', "Hey what about me?" Unbeknownst, another hound is in the chicken coop And he's makin' moves like a player to the hoop She met him at the gym or was it at the grocery? It doesn't matter 'cause you know where it's goin' B 'Cause last year, her mister got caught cheatin' So she figures this is gonna make 'em even He thought she'd wait like all the times before Until he found the note she left for him hanging on the door It read... If you don't wanna love me Then I'll find somebody else who Will (I'll find somebody else who will) Find another kind of thrill Find another way to fill this loneliness She's sixteen, callin' home to her mama Afraid to talk 'cause she scared of all the noise and drama She's been gone for a week and a half All she wants is something to eat and a nap Cause she's a runaway (runaway, runaway) Sleepin' under bridges and sleepin' in alleyways Afraid to go the shelter so at night she prays That hopefully she's gonna see some better days Meanwhile Mom and Dad are really frantic When they saw her clothes were gone You know they really panicked Thoughts in their mind, "Did she run to the border?" Or even worse "Will she be a case on Law and Order?" The silence in her room screams of not feelin' wanted Of not being good enough it almost seems haunted All her pain soon will be known When she leaves her Mom and Dad a message after the tone and says... If you don't wanna love me Then I'll find somebody else who Will (I'll find somebody else who will) Find another kind of thrill Find another way to fill this loneliness If you really wanna know me I guess you better show me Is it real or is it phony? Just love me or leave me alone If you don't wanna love me Then I'll find somebody else who Will (I'll find somebody else who will) Find another kind of thrill Find another way to fill this loneliness
