Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song for women, that would help them get through a breakup. "I Don't Love You" are four of the most painful words anyone can hear. But there is life after lost love...

Lyrics

?I Don?t Love You?
(Those Four Little Words)

What am I gonna do? (Whoa, whoa?)
I just can?t believe it?s true (Oh, no!)
He said those four little words that sting like a bee
And he pointed those four little words right at me
He said, ?I don?t love you.?

?Might swallow a pill or two (or three?)
Or drink away all of my blues (Poor me!)
But arsenic?s not really my cup of tea
So I tried not to take it too personally
When he said, ?I don?t love you,? (to me)

Bridge:

What makes him think he?s so great, anyway?
His big socks stink at the end of the day!
Someday, he?s gonna be fat, bald or gray (or all three)
Then he?ll be wishing that he didn?t say
?I don?t love you,? (to me)

So, here?s what I?m gonna do (Whoa, whoa?)
?Gonna get myself somebody new (a real Romeo)
Somebody handsome and somebody cool
Someone romantic and somebody who?ll
Say, ?I love you,? (to me)

Bridge:

He thinks that he?s maybe the Big Cat?s meow
Well, I ain?t that crazy ?bout cats, anyhow
Someday, his nine lives will be almost through
That?s when I?ll call him, and here?s what I?ll do:
I?ll say, ?I don?t love you!? (to him)

Yes, that?s what I?m gonna do (Yes, I am.)
?Gonna find myself somebody new (A REAL man.)
Someone more gentle and a whole lot less cruel
?Might have lost a small Tadpole, but it?s a mighty big Pool
Can you believe he said to me (to me, mind you) ?I don?t love you!?

Bridge:

He feels like the Big Fish that just got away
But he?s really the ?Lemon? in my lemonade
And a fish ain?t so delicious when it starts to decay
That?s when I?ll reel him in (or E-MAIL him) and say
?I don?t love you? (anymore?)
?I don?t love you? (like before?)
?I don?t love you? (There?s the door...)
?I don?t love you...?

What am I gonna do? (What am I gonna do?)
I just can?t believe it?s true. (I just can?t believe it?s true.)
What am I gonna do? (What am I gonna do?)
I just can?t believe it?s true. (I just can?t believe it?s true.)
?Cause I love him?(?Cause I love him?)
Really love him?(Really love him?)
?Just can?t trust him. (?Just can?t trust him.)
But I still love him.
