I don’t love you, but I want to love you darlin’

Oh, you check all the boxes I want to put my heart in

But I’m afraid, oh afraid if I can’t love you

Then maybe fallin’ in love is something I’m not able to do

But I’m tired of all the prowlin’ around

Oh I’ve been looking for something to look forward to

I just wanted it, oh I wanted it to be you

She says she doesn’t love me but she wants to be my darlin’

Oh I check all the boxes she wants to put her heart in

But she’s afraid, of afraid if she can’t love me

Perhaps an object of love is something she can no longer be

Says, “I’ve enjoyed all of the foolin’ around

But I’m wanting something to sink my teeth into.

I just wanted it, oh I wanted it to be you.”

Oh I’ve enjoyed all of the foolin’ around

But I’ve been looking for something to look forward to

I just wanted it, oh I wanted it,

Oh I wanted it, yeah I wanted it

Oh I wanted it, yeah I wanted it

To be you
