Lyrics
Ch.
I'm not gonna love any more.
I'm not letting love through my door.
These fickle emotions leave my heart too sore!
No, I'm not gonna love any more.
Vs. 1
I never thought I'd fall in love in the first place.
I never thought I was the kind.
Then you came along with your kindness and sweet face.
I must have been out of my mind!
Now my heart is broken and I can't stop thinking,
If I'd only guarded my heart,
I wouldn't keep feeling like my world is sinking
And my life is falling apart.
Well, now that it's over,
I'm picking up pieces
Of my shattered dreams and desires.
I've had it with romance!
'Cause it's such a wild dance!
And it's left me putting out fires...
I've decided
Ch.
I'm not gonna love any more.
I'm not letting love through my door.
These fickle emotions leave my heart too sore!
No, I'm not gonna love any more.
Vs. 2
Just what did you mean when you told me you loved me?
I thought you and I were ideal?
When you changed your mind, even though I said, "I see,"
I really don't know what you feel!
I thought we both wanted a life with each other.
I never thought our love would end.
I guess that we don't understand one another.
You only want me for a friend.
My friends think I'm crazy
Or maybe I'm lazy
'Cause I don't want somebody new.
But why should I hurry?
I don't need the worry,
Since I am still not over you....
I decided
Ch.
I'm not gonna love any more.
I'm not letting love through my door.
These fickle emotions leave my heart too sore!
No, I'm not gonna love any more.
Bridge
If you ever change your mind,
Let me know, but you may find
Ch.
I'm not gonna love any more.
I'm not letting love through my door.
These fickle emotions leave my heart too sore!
No, I'm not gonna love any more....

No, I'm not gonna love any more.
