Lyrics Not the Lovin' Kind - Buffy Sainte-Marie

Not the Lovin' Kind

Gonna get me a sewing machine
Sew you a shirt of black
«Do not love» across the front
And all across the back
To remind me that you’re not the lovin' kind
To remind me that you’re not the lovin' kind
I’m gonna get me a ribbon honey, honey
Made of
Tie it around my finger, baby
Or maybe around my bed
To remind me that you’re not the lovin' kind
To remind me that you’re not the lovin' kind
I think I’ve learned your secret
To keep from getting burned
Love for you is a matter of no deposit and no return
Yeah, I know you’re not the lovin' kind
Oh-h you’re so heavy on my mind
Rocks in my pillow
You’re putting rocks and blocks and boulders
I gotta get me a «do not love» sign, honey
And hang it around your shoulders
To remind me that you’re not the lovin' kind
To remind me you’re so heavy on my mind
