| There’s a part of this feeling that I just cannot kill |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| And I can’t take a potion, and I won’t take a pill |
| So it tortures me still |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| Then you start entertaining such a terrible thought |
| Life is so very short |
| And the name of this thing is not love |
| There’s a bruise on her arm |
| And some blood on the floor |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| And they’re taunting some girl |
| That they claim to adore |
| She can’t take anymore |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| Who in the world do you think that you are? |
| That you pushed me this far |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| He thinks of her still |
| Although you’d never guess |
| He’s trying so to forget her |
| The occasional moments that he’ll always bless |
| Watching her dress |
| For worse or better |
| He watched her pick over her broken playthings |
| What played on his mind is not love |
| The cast aside tokens and discarded rings |
| Over one of his flings |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| Then he threw something down in the wild rushing river |
| And won’t ever recover |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
| Then you start out pretending that you’re so very tough |
| Life is not short enough |
| But the name of this thing is not love |
