Another Love Song

If I say that I love you, will you just leave me alone?

I don't know what more I can do,

To keep you happy, to call my own.

If I said that I hate you, would you just sink like a stone?

Would you break out the champagne,

To celebrate the breaking of another backbone?

If I said that I need you, would you remind me I don't?

Would you climb down inside me?

Help bail water from this leaking boat.

If I say that I'm leavin, all my courage in a gutless note,

Oh man that way would be easy,

With all those big words stuck in my throat.

So unmask sign and spic and span, sing a song I'll understand.

Give me something to believe,

Another love song is the last thing we need.

We all need.

If I say that I love you, would you just leave me alone?
