lyrics
I know I want just a little touch
I kinda see you like a regular flame
I hope that you’re gonna feel the same
They want me settling but I gotta wait
I’m only here for a little break
Never tell me that you love me
It means a load of nothing
(Oh I do)
Think it only brings suffering
Escaping only lucky
(Lucky few)
If you take a hand a cuff it
It doesn’t mean you love it
It’s just an old pursuit
Bah bah bah ...
I got nothing against material things
I need guitars for the guitar strings
But paying for a future really must sting
Be more open, keep on having flings
Can’t get emotional but I’ll be hoping
That you are good at the cuddling
Never tell me that you love me
It means a load of nothing
(Oh I do)
Think it only brings suffering
Escaping only lucky
(Lucky few)
If you take a hand a cuff it
It doesn’t mean you love it
It’s just an old pursuit
Come on baby say it’s broken from the start
Everyone’s shaking, making their world’s fall apart
You know my conscience wasn’t always so departed
Never tell me that you love me
It means a load of nothing
(Oh I do)
Think it only brings suffering
Escaping only lucky
(Lucky few)
If you take a hand a cuff it
It doesn’t mean you love it
It’s just an old pursuit
