I Don't Want To Be In Love (With You)


When I saw her standing there
I couldn't do anything but stare
And watch her go

I hailed a cab and tracked her down
Followed her all over the town
Just to say hello

"Hello"

We had been together years
And every thing she did endeared
Her to me yet
Until the day that I found out
What her life was all about
A day I won't forget

Never forget

Every time I see her now
I shake and shiver and I bow
My weary head
I pray at least fifteen times a night
That I might catch some dreadful fright
And wake up dead

Cause anything would be better than this life

I'm in love with a Nazi
I don't know much but I do know that I've got
I've got to make it end

The one thing I'm afraid of
Is how to get out of there with my own skin
When she says

"Jonny Boy, do you still want to be friends?"
